Dolphin
(Nick Keefe, sometime in the 70s...)

I, I know a place
Where the moon, makes a snow-white lace
Beneath the tress, beneath the stars
Shine in every face
Down at the harbour bell tonight
Dance like a dolphin in delight
I see by the pearls that were your eyes
The sea-change has come to make you wise
So like a soldier on the shore
You trade your sword in for an oar
You watch your oar turn to a fin
You soldier’s clothes a dolphin skin
Now lift you flukes up, plunge below
To a sea-kingdom we will go
Sha la la...

I wanna dance, I wanna sing
I wanna make romance
Beneath the trees, beneath the stars
I wanna take my chance
Down at the harbour bell tonight
Dance like a dolphin in delight
Foregt every hope, forget every fear
Forget every man who put you here
And with one hand waving free
Won’t you, lady, dance with me
Dance while the diamond suns above
Shine upon our circus love
Sha la la la...

I, I know a place
Where the moon, makes a snow-white lace
Round the smoke-ring fields of war
The weary soldier heads for shore
Down where the twilite stardust seeps
Down where the emerald dolphin sleeps
Another world awash in space, I see it shine in every face
Shine like the stars of the galaxy, we dance a dolphin’s destiny
Shine like the stars of the galaxy, we dance a dolphin’s reverie
Sha la la la....
