Dolphin Song

Matthew bring in your fishing nets
Have you caught yourself a woman
Caught yourself a woman yet
Sometimes you call me Melusine
After the lady of the fountain in whose lake you took a drink
And boy I know I know that you burn
For your water spirit

Now that I know
I know the lengths that you'd go
To chase the roughest tide that's right behind me
Yes I know
I know the lengths that you'd go
To bring the roughest tide in
Smooth like dolphin
Smooth like dolphin

I sought shelter in our child's room
She and me against the world
Safe in our cocoon
You raced a giant roller-skate
And said the three of us must leave this place
Song lines will guide our way

And boy I know I know that you burn
For your water spirit

Now that I know
I know the lengths that you'd go
To bring the roughest tide that's right behind me
Yes I know
I know the lengths that you'd go
To bring the roughest tide in
Smooth like dolphin
Smooth like dolphin

Matthew bring in your fishing nets
I have been marked by your gospel
This daughter of a preacher man
Cause boy I feel
I feel that you burn for your water spirit
Cause boy I feel
I feel that you burn for your watergirl

Now that I know
I know the lengths that you'd go
To bring the tide that's racing right behind me
Yes I know
I know the lengths that you'd go
To bring the roughest tide in
Smooth like dolphin
Smooth like dolphin
