Crying Song Lyrics
We smile and smile
Laughter echoes in your eyes
We climb and climb
We climb and climb
Footfalls softly in the pines
We cry and cry
We cry and cry
Sadness passes in a while
We roll and roll
We roll and roll
Help me roll away the stone
The fade-in and fade-out to this song might actually be better than the "meat" of the song, if you know what I mean. Classic early Floyd slow song. The song is obviously about ups and downs, life! Summed up very short and sweet in Waters' tradmark "list" style of writing. One of my favorite early Floyd tunes
And in the end, it's almost a love song, as the last line suggests that you can't get through life alone.
Good song... goes with the rest of More pretty well.
And, yes that IS Syd Barrett. BION
It COULD be about crying, but I'm not sure.

First Waters reference to a "stone," which automatically makes not, whether or not it's a great song (which it is), a historical curiousity and a must have.
It is about, as Loafer kindly said three times, the ups and downs of life.
I agree that the fade in and fade out is what is really special about this one. Stone reference really is the only reason someone would analyse this piece, having not indulged in this sort of music with curiosity before hand. I like it
What is the "stone" meaning? a problem maybe, but is that means something else?
@joaquim The stone refers to the stone blocking the entrance to the tomb where Jesus was said to have been placed after the crucifixion. Surprisingly, this reference stands alone, without much connection to the rest of the lyrics. Nonetheless, it adds a lot to the song's interest.
