The Dolphins
Linda Ronstadt · Other Songs - Linda Ronstadt
Not the way it's been
And all the ways of war
Can't change it back again
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
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 that peace will come
When all hate is gone
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
Sometimes I think about
Saturday's child
And all about the times
When we were running wild
I've been searching for the dolphins in the sea
Sometimes I wonder do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
This old world may never change

It remains a testament to her enduring influence on the genre, capturing a moment of quiet reflection that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity in their musical experiences.
