Blue Pacific - Michael Franks

Here I am: «Hometown Boy Makes Good»

Writes one critic

All my childhood I lived

By the blue Pacific

Anytime that reality

Makes me heartsick

I come here just to stare

At the blue Pacific

Sea.

And barefoot on the beach

I watch for you on the horizon

That’s where you promised you would be

I’ve seen your face before in my imagination

One day my eyes will learn to see

Here by the blue Pacific where

The diamond water shimmers in the sun

By the blue Pacific where

The gull still glides and waves divide

The silence just like time

Understandably happy to be specific

When I’m snorkeled and finned

In the blue Pacific

I admire the damselfish

Feel terrific

As I float on the face

Of the blue Pasific
