Lyrics

Dolphin's Smile

[Verse:] Out at sea for a year Floating free from all fear Every day blowin' spray In a dolphin's smile Wind-taut line split the sk Curlin'crest rollin' by Floating free aimlessly In a dolphin's smile Rainbow's end everywhere Full of light, free as air Childhood's dream Have you ever seen a dolphin's smile
