Introduction:
C Am
I knelt before the sky awaiting her reply,
F G
But she refused to pour herself all over me.
C
So i bowed my head in shame
Am
The sea was, she was hugging my waist
F G
And mumbling words of encouragement that i would only forget.
Am F
And i wished for to unlearn, unlearn,
C G
Unlearn the alphabet.
Am F
So as to make the sounds slide off my tongue
G C(ºnce)
In the shape, in the form of the ancient sun! â?¦.
C Am
My song would make the earth a little warmer
F G
And i would hope it would make it a little brighter.
C(ºnce)
And my song would go, itâ??d go: ladida da da.
Am F G
Ladida oh oh oh oh oh. lada di da da da di da
C
And i laid myself on down
Am F G(ºnce)
And i drifted out out towards the center, towards the lighthouse.
C Am
And i thought in only pictures in my head,
F G
Reverse every image to make it majestic.
C Am F
And i began to sink into the deep, the deep caress.
G
The heavy depth. the honey swell, the honey swell
Am F
And i, i wished for to become a beluga whale
C G
To be that song that someone sings to the one they love

To send them off to sleep.

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

Oh oh oh oh oh oh sleep
F C
Drifting off to sleep drifting off to sleep

Drifting out to sea,
C G
Drifting out to see, oh do you still want me?

With a little bit of baby beluga in the deep blue sea,

You swim so wild you swim so free

The heavens above and the sea below
Am
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
