A Plea to Goddess Ocean from a Beached Blue Whale

 A Plea to Goddess Ocean from a Beached Blue Whale

 

G             Em        B7   

Mother, if only, just one more time

B7

I might feel you against my body 

B7                                              E

While caressing my underside

G                         Em        B7

And sense the flow of tide

 

pass me by B7 holy, holy                                                                                                                                    

B7                                                                                               E

Beloved Mother, if you would grant me this last request. 

F                                                                       G               Gm

I would gift its memory to these hearts of souls 

Gm                                                                               C

All scattered round staring in dismayed disbelief 

C                          B7

Looking at me brokenhearted

G                                            Em

Whose desperate pleas, it seems

C                                     Am             B7               

Have brought these storm-filled darkened skies 

B7                                               E

Pouring from your ancient eyes.  

G                  Am                   B7 

So-please-hear-my-call, Mightiest-of-all

F                   G         Gm                                                                       C

Turn their pain into a heavenly colored arcing bow in the rain

Am   Em                B7                                                 

So it may sweep my soul into your celestial abode 

B7                                                                             E

From where I might glide forever free and wide
