Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I say it just to reach you, Julia.
Julia, Julia, ocean child, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
In the sun
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia.
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia.
Hum hum hum hum, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia, Julia, Julia.
