(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
2
Don't worry about my politics
3
They are what they are
4
I work best when I get some rest
5
Right now I'm in a bar
6
Overlooking the whole wide world
7
It's over the Pacific
8
I've never written when I was drunk
9
This could be terrific!
10
And the seabird struggles in the wind
11
She topples, balances again
12
The lady sitting next to me
13
Is gazing in the eyes
14
Of the stranger sitting next to her
15
Who is mouthing truths and lies
16
He's actually quite nice I guess
17
He has an honest look
18
He doesn't know I've lost my mind
19
Scribbling in this book
20
And the seabird struggles in the wind
21
She topples, balances again
22
Consumed by the evening's masterpiece
23
Completely introverted
24
From here I could stare down eternity
25
Leave alone and not feel deserted
26
I'm tired of interesting faces
27
And the dull ones make my weep
28
Don't ask me what my sign is
29
Instant intimacy runs cheap
30
The ocean is so bountiful
31
It spreads from coast to coast
32
The winds scale off the whitecaps
33
And the things I love the most
34
Come wafting up into my lap
35
In the colors of the great sunrise
36
Children holding cupcakes
37
With paradise in their eyes
38
And the seabird struggles in the wind
39
She topples, balances again
40
Four big pelicans just flew by
41
The room got very still
42
One of them carried the breath of God
43
Tucked way back in his bill
44
I know it was the breath of God
45
It's the same as the secret of life
46
He's carrying it off to the Shah of Iran
47
To trade it for the end of strife
48
And the seabird struggles in the wind
49
She topples, balances again
