Singing The Dolphin

Mike Heron


Farewell Plymouth, your morning 
Cold and grey 
Is painting shadows on my thoughts 
And we're bound for Norway 

Joseph I know you're trusting me to see you right 
And I know you can't stand the fighting 
For one more night 

Joseph the mud gives way to coral somewhere 
And the hours of light they last and last 
We'll see no hostile flag then from craft unknown 
We will have grown free from sighing 

Singing the dolphin through 
Singing the dolphin through 
Singing the dolphin through 
Still waters
