They bought a round for the sailor
And he told them a tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that they’d
A song of a little bird
fell in love with a whale
He said, 'You cannot live in the ocean'
And she said to him
'You never can live in the sky'
But the ocean is filled with tears
And the sea turns into a mirror
There's a whale in the moon when it's clear
And the bird on the tide
Please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes
So tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I'll never sail back to the time
But I'll always pretend you're mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart
Please don't cry
Let me dry your eyes
And tell me that you will wait for me
Hold me in your arms
I promise we never will part
I'll never sail back to the time
But I'll always pretend that you're mine
Though I know that we both must part
You can live in my heart

Review about Fish & Bird Fish and bird | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/25/2007
The first verse as it is sung by John Kirkpatrick on his CD "Make no bones" :
They bought a round for the sailor
And he told them a tale /And they heard his tale
Of a world that was so far away
And a song that they’d / we'd never heard
A song of a little bird
fell in love with a whale
Line 2 and line 4 go better with the music and the story in J.K's version.
