Into the great blue world lies somber realities
Of endless eyes and calling cries
They wallow in front of me

So I break to pieces as I wander away
The colors of life submerge and fade
Remembering my sweet marvelous world sometimes

Out on the ocean
Round and round
She breathes across the brooding sea
Traveling over and over
Her hands came over me
For everything that I had loved
Those everythings she kept above
As she pulled me into her smiling ocean tide
My Mendocino girl

Round and round
She breathes across the brooding sea
Traveling over and over
Her hands came over me
My Mendocino girl

A stranger she was
And whispered away

Out on the ocean
Round and round
She breathes across the brooding sea
Traveling over and over
Her hands came over me
For everything that I had loved
Those everythings she kept above
As she pulled me into her smiling ocean tide
My Mendocino girl
