As the night takes over
The spirits of the deep
Marvel at his majesty
The whale is in his sleep
Refrain:
Oh, la mer
You're shimmering through
Oh, la mer
Magnificent blue
Shimmering through the water
In search of sanctuary
Currents travel faster
In alien territory
Dancing in the distance
In a puff of spray
In a single moment
The dolphin glides away
Refrain (2x)
Oh, la mer
Note: Only the refrain is realy sung, the rest is kind-of spoken.
Music: Peterson
Lyrics: Peterson, Brightman
From: Dive (1993)
and The very best of 1990-2000
(2001).
Source of the lyrics: the CD-booklet, with thanks to Jeff.
The book Whale Nation by Heathcote Williams, where Sarah got the
words spoken in
song 1 on the CD (Dive)
from, uses the phrases "Ancient, unknown mammals" and "A velvet energy",
and also refers to whales as "like Buddhists" the long poem.
