Into the great blue world lies somber realities   Of endless eyes and calling cries   They wallow in front of me      So I break to pieces as I wander away   The colors of life submerge and fade   Remembering my sweet marvelous world sometimes      Out on the ocean   Round and round   She breathes across the brooding sea   Traveling over and over   Her hands came over me   For everything that I had loved   Those everythings she kept above   As she pulled me into her smiling ocean tide   My Mendocino girl      Round and round   She breathes across the brooding sea   Traveling over and over   Her hands came over me   My Mendocino girl      A stranger she was   And whispered away      Out on the ocean   Round and round   She breathes across the brooding sea   Traveling over and over   Her hands came over me   For everything that I had loved   Those everythings she kept above   As she pulled me into her smiling ocean tide   My Mendocino girl
