From the recording This Is What I Heard - 2008

Lyrics

THE ONE EYED TURTLE AND THE FLOATING LOG (Walsh)

You ain't been drifting long enough
Your skin's not soft your hairs not rough
Looks like you've been into the harder stuff
You look confused your head's full of fluff

Haven't I seen you here before
looking for a hole on the ocean floor
Your belly's bigger than a pompadour
Like you slept all night in the bottom drawer

CHORUS
The one eyed turtle and the floating log
Lost at sea with the mangy dog
Singing a song in the morning fog
About the one eyed turtle and the floating log

Well the tide is turning it's time to go
East is west is all I know
That lonely old wind is starting to blow
My shell is colder than a mountain of snow

I've been cursed and I've been blessed
I've kept to myself and I've confessed
I lost it all in a treasure chest
You should have seen me at Oktoberfest

CHORUS

I love the sun on my back
That sandalwood is a tasty snack
When all my dreams fade to black
Please won't you give me a friendly whack

CHORUS
CHORUS
