I want the roll
The roll of the ocean
I want the roll
The roll of the ocean
I want the sweet deep
Elemental roll
I want Coltrane in the moon
Just that starry aching tune
Will do
I only want the news
From the heavenly Muse
I want the roll
The roll of the ocean
I want the roll
The roll of the ocean
I want the sweet complete
Elemental roll
Oh, star up in the tree
Ready now
I will set the mystery free
I only want the news
From the heavenly Muse
Free me
From a world that is so very
Hard and cold
I am your visionary
I want talk in musk
Passion in the rain
Peace on earth
What can I say?
I'm an angel
What can I say?
I'm a woman
I want the roll
The roll of the ocean
I want the sweet deep
Elemental roll
I want the roll
