A few who truly knew me used to joke That you'd only see me smiling when I smoke Damage from a darker yesterday That something in the water washed away I can't believe the feeling that I found Inside of me when winter comes around She always looked so happy and so high I want to be a dolphin when I die I would love to be a dolphin every day And watch the water wash the world away Swimming free and smiling at the sky I want to be a dolphin when I die I'm sorry that she can't be swimming free But I'm happy that she's happy here with me The truth is shining in her eyes Want to be a dolphin when I die I want to be a dolphin every day And watch the water wash the world away Swimming free and smiling at the sky I want to be a dolphin when I die
