Singing The Dolphin Through - Mike Heron (Echo Coming Back)

Closing the day with some more Mike Heron . . . . . . 

 Also found on Echo Coming Back - The Best of Mike Heron if you can find any of them . . . . . . ?!!!!

Not exactly a Christmas song but echoes of Winter and colder climes this mystical eerie winter song will see us into the next days before the year ends . . Singing The Dolphin Through (Still Waters)

Farewell Plymouth, your morning cold and grey
Is painting shadows on my thoughts
And we're bound for Norway

Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through still waters

Joseph, I know you're trusting me to see you right
And I know you can't stand the fighting
Yes I know you can't stand the fighting
For one more, one more night

Joseph, the mud gives way to coral somewhere
And the hours of light they last and last
We'll see no hostile flag there from craft unknown
We will have grown free from sighing

Singing the dolphin through
Singing the dolphin through

Singing the dolphin through still waters
