Oh, mister sunfish
Oh, mister ocean fish
Drift away
Drift away
And lie below the shining rays
You swim so slowly
Your life seems so carefree
Floating though the sunlight zone
Feeling happy all alone
Oh, mister sunfish
Oh, mister ocean fish
Drift away
Drift away
And lie below the shining rays
Don't you feel lonely
And don't you feel unseen?
I do envy you a bit
How you never seem to quit
You seem to always try to take your time
While staying silent in the ocean brine
Oh, I wish I could relate
To a fish without a tail
But the sunrise somehow washes me awake
Good morning, mister sunfish
Please teach me all your ways
How to live without a wish
How to swim away my days
Good morning, mister sunfish
'Cause although you seem gray
I know that you can flourish
In the sea where you'll decay
Oh, mister sunfish
Oh, mister ocean fish
Tell me why
Tell me why
The waters never seem to dry
It sounds so cozy
To dwell the seven seas
Don't you ever feel upset?
Are there things that you regret?
You seem to always try to take your time (you seem to take your time)
While staying silent in the ocean brine (deep in the ocean brine)
Oh, I wish a could relate
To a fish without a tail
But the sunrise somehow washes me awake
Good morning, mister sunfish
Please teach me all your ways
How to live without a wish
How to swim away my days
Good morning, mister sunfish
'Cause although you seem gray
I know that you can flourish
In the sea where you'll decay
I've always thought that you were unaware (that you were unaware)
Of cliffs and canyons from below the air (from deep below the air)
I never knew that you have your own endless skies
So, maybe I was ignorant
And you're not very different, after all (not so different, mister sunfish)
Mister sunfish, tell me more!
Good morning, mister sunfish
Please teach me all your ways
Tell me all the things you wish
Tell me how you swim your days
Good morning, mister sunfish
'Cause although you seem gray
I know that you can flourish
In the sea where you'll decay
Good morning, mister sunfish!
(Oh, mister ocean fish)
(Drift away)
(Drift away)
(And lie below the shining rays)
Good morning, mister sunfish!
(Oh, mister sunfish)
I know that you can flourish
In the sea where you'll decay
And although I've lost courage
When the winds led me astray
I know that you can flourish
So, maybe I'll be okay
