From the recording Picture Paradise
Lyrics
Little girl won't you come to me
Go down where the land meets the sea
Search by the waters edge and see
The wonder what this earth's meant to be
Little boy won't you walk with me
Where the wind blows wild and the trees bend free
Find the woman who will always be
The one alone who protects the sea
Won't you Tell me (Tell me)
Tell me when this world will learn
Won't you tell me (Tell me)
Before all we know is burned
Young man won't you sit with me
And hear the tales the old spin free
Of days gone by their voices strain
Away they cry to ease their pain
Old man won't you walk with me
Past flowers reeds and sanctity
Find the one who will always be
The mother of the earth who smiles at thee
The whales of august may never return
Like an age old mistress they take their turn
From days of old when the blues they reigned
And now all is quiet in the deep they wane
Won't you Tell me (Tell me)
Tell me when this world will learn
Won't you tell me (Tell me)
Before all we know is burned
Won't you Tell me (Tell me)
Tell me when this world will learn
Won't you tell me (Tell me)
Before all we know is burned
