Lyrics for I Heard Whales (I Think)

Walking slowly back and forth On a bluff along the water Seeing waves roll in the blowing Far from any other person I swear I promise I heard, I did I heard actual music riding on the wind Barely there Though it couldn't have been 'Cause I was definitely miles from any other people And crashing water in my eyes eclipsed everything It sounded like It could've been whales Deep, watching, doing their singing It could've been some ancient shipwreck Still out there howling Or it could've been science Just wind and waves and rocks and angles Or my hallucination could have been The real thing Something with no explanation Heard, or not heard, inside of everything And there is music no one hears Unless they quiet all the way down And lean way out over the edge
