Jim Ruhland: Main and Harmony Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Percussion
Chace Alaric: Piano  Ken Repkow: Bass Guitar

Cortez, Abalone skies
Crashing, before my lazy, lazy eyes
Many men, many hearts, many sailed your waves
Chorus - Free as the pelicans that fish your sea

In the spark of morning, “Mr Sonshine” arises
Chipping a crystal hourglass on your canvas
Following me wherever I go, I go
Chorus - Free as the pelicans that fish your sea

At moments the crystals in the hourglass fall upwards
Erasing, time... time
Brother moon has given me his moment, his time... to be
Chorus - Free as the pelicans that fish your sea

Bridge – Take time, take time, free…

I see what’s above your water, but not below
As a sailor of the stratosphere, I see below, but not above
Precariously perched, to break, break free,
Chorus - Free as the pelicans that fish your sea

Ending - Free, free, as the pelicans… fish your… sea, true, freedom

*Recorded at Master Factory Studio: Ken Repkow, Sound Engineer
