This old world may never change
The way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searchin'
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
I'm not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone
I've been searchin'...
You know sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the time
When we were running wild
I've been searchin'...
This old world may never change
This world may never change
This world may never change
The way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone
Saturday's child
And all about the time
When we were running wild
This world may never change
This world may never change

Tim Buckley too..."The Dolphins" insinuates itself with a yearning, elliptical melody, while the lyric conflates philosophy and environmentalism. The author donated all royalties to dolphin conservation charities.
A person wondering about the woman he once loved and searching for transcendence of the world and inner peace itself. Beautiful.
@cmcrockford This beautiful song is sung on the Sopranos. Kind of a tribute to Adrianna, I think

Glen Hansard does a fairly good cover of this.. His cover helped me discover Fred Neil, too...
The first time I heard this song I was overcome with emotion.
It speaks to so much of what is happening today with hate and war. The artist wonders if someone ever thinks of him and thinks about Saturday's child (has to work for a living) While I can hear a bit of a romantic theme within the song, it is so much more. I believe that Neil was an activist for the dolphins but also an idealist, a questioner, It's nice to hear about other artists who cover the song, I find this one to be an outstanding piece of work
