Van Dyke Parks
Statue of Liberty
[Verse 1]
Moon rises and sets
In the real world
Islands and hurricanes
Wind blows in from Jersey
It floats across the pave
Into the open ocean
It's a good day
To run away
Freedom is a scary thing
Not many people really want it

[Bridge]
Me, I keep my distance
I'm always leaving
That's just my way
Cool water

[Chorus]
Now you're just another speck on the horizon
Just another speck on the sea
Cool water
Cool me

[Verse 2]
Statue of liberty
Stands in the harbor
Holding her torch
Hello, goodbye
To all the men and women
Who pass through her port
Into the open ocean
[Chorus]
Now you're just another speck on the horizon
Just another speck on the sea
Cool water
Cool me
Freedom is a scary thing
Not many people really want it
