lyrics

The songs of the whales

They sound pretty much the same 

The leader of the pack sets the tone 

Among the fellow whales they sing

The horse wears a mask

He looks like a bear

When the Sun goes down

The woodpecker makes himself at home

His heady melody fills me with joy and thankfulness

The sound of the waves

Helps me take away the pain

You look as if you were born yesterday 
T
The sound of the waves

Cascading over our heads 

Resounding in my ears

The ocean feels like a womb

We can have some peace and quiet

A swarm of seabirds sings along

We can find shelter in this very warm womb 

Wet womb

The sound of the waves

Helps me take away the pain

The sound of the waves

Cascading over our heads 

Resounding in my ears

The sound of the waves

Helps me take the pain away

You look as if you were born tomorrow

Enjoying every sunny spell of my mind 

Believing in every single day of your life
