Mother Sea Lyrics

Happy Rhodes Mother Sea

(5:23)
    Piano: Martha Waterman
    Electric gulls and Keys: Kevin Bartlett
I looked out over the blue
And breathed in the new, old air
Wondered where it had been
Before it got here
Little bell in a cage
Singing to me happily
I wanted to swim out far
To keep him company
  Mother Sea blew her
  Sweet breath on me
  Telling me there's so much
  More to be seen
    Yes I remember now
    I remember now
    How it goes
I remember the tears
For the jellyfish
Drowned in the sand
I wavered in the waves
With seaweed in my hand
I wanted to fly under
The wings of the gulls
Overhead
I longed to know what lies
Beyond that line
  Mother Sea blew her
  Sweet breath on me
  Telling me there's so much
  More I can be
  Mother Sea blew her
  Sweet breath on me
  Telling me there's so much
  More I must be
    Yes I remember now
    I remember now
    How it goes
Now I know just what
My godmother was for
  Mother Sea blew her
  Sweet breath on me
  Telling me there's so much
  More I must see
  Mother Sea blew her
  Sweet breath on me
  Telling me there's so much
  More we can be
    Yes I remember now
    I remember now
    How it goes
