Buffy Sainte-Marie
Waves
One with hair of golden
One with skin as deep as autumn burning leaves
One with eyes of ocean color
And ocean deep as ocean eyes can be
Look for him at sunrise
When the sunrise rainbows puddle every scarlet bay
And if he’s there
Surfing crystal mountains
Say hello for me

One with hands of sinew
Hands as wired to perfection as a jeweler man’s
One with days of childhood in his days
And childhood in his ways of being a man
Look for him at noonday
When the noonday poppies sweetly nod their sweet perfumes
And if he’s there
Don’t wake him up just pass on by
And wish him perfect dreams

One with flowers in his eyes
And flowers in his dreams of flowers running wild
One with stars in every smile
Who smiles at every star and every waterfall
Look for him at sunset
When the sunset waves are breaking at infinity
And if he’s there
Surfing crystal mountains
Say hello for me
And if he’s there
A silhouette against the green
Tell him hello for me
