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! ….

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, it’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

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

                  Am
Oh oh oh oh oh oh sleep
                F                     C
Drifting off to sleep Drifting off to sleep
                G
Drifting out to sea.
            Am
Oh oh oh oh sea.
                F
Drifting out to sea,
                C                         G
drifting out to see, oh do you still want me?
          Am
Oh Billy, See?
                    F
Oh Billy, don’t you see?
      C                   G
how I long to sing you to sleep.

                     C
with a little bit of baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Am
you swim so wild you swim so free
F                             G
the heavens above and the sea below

                  Am
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
