The Albatross & the Whale
Watching the albatross hovering there
With the breath of the wind on her wings
Thinking that maybe she might still be sleeping
Thinking of various things
Watching the mighty arched back of the blue whale
Wondering if she will sound
Watching the bird looking down on the blue whale
Wondering what I have found
Do these two creatures, so different to me
Understand all of the ways of the sea?
Are they or not, I cannot tell
Each understanding the other as well?
The harpoon bites deep in the back of the blue whale
The albatross will be shot down
Whilst silently watching the death of the blue whale
Circling slowly around
For man must destroy what he can't understand
So my Ancient Mariner's tale
Must end with the bird swooping silently down
To die in the sea with the whale
To die in the sea with the whale
To die in the sea with the whale
With the breath of the wind on her wings
Thinking that maybe she might still be sleeping
Thinking of various things
Watching the mighty arched back of the blue whale
Wondering if she will sound
Watching the bird looking down on the blue whale
Wondering what I have found
Do these two creatures, so different to me
Understand all of the ways of the sea?
Are they or not, I cannot tell
Each understanding the other as well?
The harpoon bites deep in the back of the blue whale
The albatross will be shot down
Whilst silently watching the death of the blue whale
Circling slowly around
For man must destroy what he can't understand
So my Ancient Mariner's tale
Must end with the bird swooping silently down
To die in the sea with the whale
To die in the sea with the whale
To die in the sea with the whale
