Beluga (Original)

(album: The Tingly Circus - 2007)

I knelt before The Sky awaiting Her reply
But She refused to pour herself all over me

So I bowed my head in shame
The Sea was, She was hugging my waist
And mumbling words of encouragement that I would only forget

And I wished for to unlearn, unlearn
Unlearn the alphabet
So as to make the sounds slide off my tongue
In the shape, in the form of the Ancient Sun!...

My song would make the earth a little warmer
And I would hope it would make it a little brighter
And my song would go, it'd go: ladida da da
Ladida oh oh oh oh oh
Lada di da da da di da

And I laid myself on down
And I drifted out out towards the center
Towards The Lighthouse

And I thought in only pictures in my head
Reverse every image to make it majestic

And I began to sink into the deep, the deep caress
The heavy depth
The Honey Swell, The Honey Swell

And I, I wished for to become a beluga whale

To be that song that someone sings to the one they love
To send them off to sleep
To send them off to sleep
That one song that someone sings to the one they love the most

Oh oh oh oh oh oh sleep
Drifting off to sleep
Drifting off to sleep
Drifting out to sea

Oh oh oh oh sea
Drifting out to sea
Drifting out to see
Oh do you still want me?

Oh oh oh oh See?
Oh baby, don't you see
How I long to sing you to sleep

Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
You swim so wild you swim so free
The heavens above and the sea below
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
