Story behind the song

The story was originaly created by Ray Bradbury. You can read the story in the book "Golden Apples of the Sun". My father wrote the song when I was 1 year old and I grew up listening to it. I rearranged  the music to it when I was 18. Now my father brags on what his oldest son has done. If any one out there knows Mr. Bradbury, Please let him listen to it again.

Lyrics

The last two dinosaurs on earth
Lived beside the sea
They frollicked and they played there
As happy as could be
They lived there by the ocean
They frollicked in the sea
And they played upon the seashore
Of the wide and deep blue sea

One day one dinosaur
Slipped into an oily slime
And she was never seen again
Not then or for all time
Her lifemate in his sorrow
Went down into the deep
To dream about his loved one
In a never ending sleep
At the bottom of the sea

Then we came upon this scene
And swarmed the earth like flees
We built a mighty lighthouse
Much taller than the trees
We put a foghorn in it
It called out mournfully
It called out cross the vastness
Of the wide and deep blue sea
Cross that wide and deep blue sea

The foghorn's voice was lonely
Our saddest lonely sound
It beckond to the sailors
To heed the dangerous ground
It called out to the sailors
It called out mournfully
And it called out to the monster
At the bottom of the sea

The dinosaur he heard it
He heard our mournfull choice
But his heart it leaped with gladness
For it was his loved one's voice
And he came up from the bottom
Where he'd slept a million years
And he hurried to the voice that called
With gladdness to his ears
From the bottom of the sea

He saw her oer the ocean
She held her head up high
Though she stood so very still
And had one strange and gleeming eye
But he heard his loved one call him
She called him playfully
From a million years of dreaming
At the bottom of the sea

He met her in the moonlight
Standing there alone
He hurried forth to greet her
But he touched a cold hard stone
He fell in anguish upon the lighthouse
It crumbled to the sea
Into a heap of rubble
By the wide and deep blue sea

He mourned then for his loved one
Until his eyes were red
We heard his awful wailing
And we trembled in our beds
But had we known twas loves sake
That made the monster weep
We'd never fear the dinosaur
That lies now fast asleep
At the bottom of the sea

At the bottom of the sea
