Mr. Sunfish

Oh, mister sunfish Oh, mister ocean fish Drift away Drift away And lie below the shining rays You swim so slowly Your life seems so carefree Floating through the sunlight zone Feeling happy all alone Oh, mister sunfish Oh, mister ocean fish Drift away Drift away And lie below the shining rays Don't you feel lonely And don't you feel unseen? I do envy you a bit How you never seem to quit You seem to always try to take your time While staying silent in the ocean brine Oh, I wish I could relate To a fish without a tail But the sunrise somehow washes me awake Good morning, mister sunfish Please teach me all your ways How to live without a wish How to swim away my days Good morning, mister sunfish 'Cause although you seem gray I know that you can flourish In the sea where you'll decay Oh, mister sunfish Oh, mister ocean fish Tell me why Tell me why The waters never seem to dry It sounds so cozy To dwell the seven seas Don't you ever feel upset? Are there things that you regret? You seem to always try to take your time (you seem to take your time) While staying silent in the ocean brine (deep in the ocean brine) Oh, I wish I could relate To a fish without a tail But the sunrise somehow washes me awake Good morning, mister sunfish Please teach me all your ways How to live without a wish How to swim away my days Good morning, mister sunfish 'Cause although you seem gray I know that you can flourish In the sea where you'll decay I've always thought that you were unaware (that you were unaware) Of cliffs and canyons from below the air (from deep below the air) I never knew that you have your own endless skies So maybe I was ignorant And you're not very different, after all Mr. Sunfish, tell me more Good morning, mister sunfish Please teach me all your ways Tell me all the things you wish Tell me how you swim your days Good morning, mister sunfish 'Cause although you seem gray I know that you can flourish In the sea where you'll decay Good morning, mister sunfish (oh, mister ocean fish) (Drift away) (Drift away) (And lie below the shining rays) Good morning, mister sunfish (Oh, mister ocean fish) I know that you can flourish In the sea where you'll decay And although I've lost courage When the winds led me astray I know that you can flourish So, maybe I'll be okay
