Lyrics
Whales
Graeham Goble
February 28th & March 3rd, 1979
Swimming in a sea of blue
Sending out their calls for love
They're all gone, but a few
It's the last thing we're thinking of
Will we ever understand
The simple things and let them be?
Whales are just like man
Living to be free
They love one and other
Take care of their own
And all they want is to be left alone
Once upon a time they knew
The joy that all their love could bring
Now what can they do?
There's no one to hear them sing
Living, only just alive
That's not how it's meant to be
They're trying to survive
Hiding in the sea
Where they love one and other
Take care of their own
And all they want is to be left alone
It's a sad world we have
But it's all we deserve
We kill everything
That we should preserve
Our children will never know
The world that was long ago
Will we ever understand
The simple things and let them be?
Whales are just like man
Living to be free
And they love one and other
Take care of their own
And all they want is to be left alone
