| 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 |
|
