Deep Green
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once in a while
I float on the ocean
Carried by tides
Away like a notion
And deep green
Slow, clean water
Saw a man once
A dark eskimo
Sailing on an ice float
Didn't like the look of him at all
And deep green
Slow, clean water
There's been some famous whales
Moby Dick is one that comes to mind
And I guess you can count the dolphins
You've got locked up in the zoos
Oh, but I prefer the city of deep green
White winged doves come sailing by
Icebergs burst the pinnacles up to the sky
From deep green
Slow, clean water
