I've got a message
Oh, as I was told
Summer's fadin'
And California seems so cold

Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the water
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the sea

In the ocean
It's where it all begins
And sweet emotion
We try and drink away our sins

Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the water
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the sea

And I will always be around
And you can lay your burden down

The bus is waiting
The folks are going home
Celebrating
Save your life by playing rock 'n roll

Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the water
Lucinda, Lucinda
A child of the sea

Lucinda, Lucinda
A proud poet's daughter
Lucinda, Lucinda
The trick is you and me

Wherever we might roam
I will always be alone
To some degree
