A A                  E E
On a distant shore, miles from land
G G D D
Stands the ebony totem in ebony sand,
A A E E
A A dream in a mist of grey
B B A A
On a far distant shore.

A A E E
The pebble, it stood alone
G G D D
And driftwood lies half buried
A A E E
Warm, shallow water sweeps shells
B B A A
So the cockles shine.


A A E E
A A bare, winding carcass stalk
G G D D
Shimmers as flies scoop up meat.
A A
An empty way,
B B A A
Dry Tears.


A A E E
A A crisp flax squeaks. Tall reeds
G G
Make a circle of grey
D D A A
In a summer way, around man
B B A A
so don't drown

About this song: Opel

Left off of Madcap because Gilmour and Waters were in such a rush. When Syd transferred all the four tracks to eight-track for the final mixing, Jones noticed that 'Opel' was among them: "Syd obviously intended to include it on the album. I still think to this day that it is one of his best tracks and it's tragic that it wasn't included in the final album." -- "The Madcap Laughs: Mick Rock Photo Sessions, 1993
