Lyrics
Song of the Whale Blount/Graham/Siegel 2009 A gnarly little man in a tiny dugout boat With the wisdom of the ocean in his voice when he spoke Revealed to me the secret of the mournful melody I was hearing near my timeshare cottage nestled by the sea IT'S THE SONG OF THE WHALE Sailing Around Detailing How They're Surviving IT'S THE SONG OF THE WHALE They're Ailing Now Telling Us How They Are Dying The sun-baked wizened man, scarred and hardened by his years From a life of living off the sea, began to fight back tears Told us how the things we do destroy the harmony So now the humpbacks all cry out about their agony IT'S THE SONG OF THE WHALE Sailing Around Detailing How They're Surviving IT'S THE SONG OF THE WHALE They're Ailing Now Telling Us How They Are Dying The whales keep wailing out the ocean blues While wishing all the world will spread the news IT'S THE SONG OF THE WHALE Sailing Around Detailing How They're Surviving IT'S THE SONG OF THE WHALE They're Ailing Now Telling Us How They Are Dying
