Big Tree Blue Sea (G. Kooymans/B. Hay) 1970 Golden Earring

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with wine and dirt
I don’t mind, I’m the big tree
I don’t mind, I’m the blue sea

Paper castles filled with words
Limbo policemen please the herd
I don’t mind, I’m the big tree
I don’t mind, I’m the blue sea

I’m sun, I’m warm, I’m child of the moon
Even when it’s dark, I’ll sand the dune
Can’t you hear there’s fishermen laughing
The whale dips dpwn, I hear him crying for me

I’m shade, I’m good, I’m beams in June
Even when it’s dark, I’ll light your room
Don’t you know the clown has feelings
Talking revolution, secret meetings, who’s free
Who’s free, free

Morning sunshine, praise the earth
Fill your glass with blood and dirt
I don’t mind, I’m the big tree
I don’t mind, I’m the blue sea
