Whale Watchers

In a rainstorm on a bluff
She becomes sixteen
She can’t believe how this town’s grown
She complains about the rich folks
Boats circle in the distance
It can only mean one thing
She sees a splash, her eyes light up and she’s gone
And I’m goin’ after her
Chasing to the lighthouse like kids
Whale watchers
She talks dorsal fin notches
And ponders over pods
The way she turns from a woman to a girl
I never want it to stop
I say I wish they’d come in closer
They’re hard to see this far away
She gazes below to the waves and she’s gone
And I’m goin’ after her
Tracin’ ‘cross Lime Kiln, she and I
Whale watchers
If I ever get rich
I’m gonna build her a glass house by the water
And every time the whales go by
She’ll light up and so will I
She’ll be gone
And I’m goin’ after her
Fingers crossed we see a breach
Whale watchers
She and I and she and I
A couple of whale watchers
In a rainstorm on a bluff
She becomes sixteen

The first strange town I was ever in
The county was hangin' a man
Nobody cared if he lived or died
And I just didn't understand
So I washed my face in the morning dew
Bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew
And kept on movin' along
The second strange town I was in
They were laughing at a poor crippled man
Begging for nickels and dimes on the street
And I just didn't understand
The third strange town that I was in
Was settled, peaceful and nice
The rich got richer and the poor got poorer
And to me it just didn't seem right
So I washed my face in the morning dew
Bathed my soul in the sun
Washed my face in the morning dew
And kept on movin' along
Some day things are bound to change
It can't be very far
And each injustice I have seen
Will come before the bar
Then I'll wash my face in the morning dew
Bathe my soul in the sun
Wash my face in the morning dew
And keep on movin' along
