Hello again; found the tape, had a listen and heard it as follows:

DOLPHIN STORY
(Claudia Schmidt, 1981)

She in the sea, she in the sea,
She in the sea is a dolphin.
She must be, be in the sea
And only as a dolphin come to thee

Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled
As they took her in that day,
Through the power of the words of the jealous one
Who chose to have his way

Long ago, when the earth was new
And all but man lived on it
God placed there a fine young one
To love and care upon it.

He placed a woman by man's side
Whose beauty grew so gracefully
That God himself, he fell in love
And it drove him mad with jealousy

And the young earth grew and children too
Were the fruit of new fertility
And the girl and boy were a light of joy
In the shadow of God's jealousy

Mother, father, watched by God
Gained beauty in their passion
And he knew he'd have the woman's heart
By force or other fashion

And he found her all alone one day,
And spoke of his enamorings
She shrank and called to the one she loved
With wild and frightened clamorings

She in the sea, she in the sea,
She in the sea is a dolphin.
She must be, be in the sea
And only as a dolphin come to thee

Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled
As they took her in that day,
Through the power of the words of the jealous one
Who chose to have his way

God cried, if I am refused,
Then shall your love be blighted
And you shall lose your woman's ways
And from the land be slighted

A monstrous shape shall you assume
In the dark and restless sea.
And your only lasting link
Is as man's friend for all eternity

The he took her down upon the beach
And he loved her without shame
Crying, you the Dolphin shall be called
And your children be the same

She in the sea, she in the sea,
She in the sea is a dolphin.
She must be, be in the sea
And only as a dolphin come to thee

Oh, the waves, they soared and swelled
As they took her in that day,
Through the power of the words of the jealous one
Who chose to have his way

Hope this helps a bit. You're right Joe; it's a great song. . . I heard Claudia perform it shortly after she'd written it.

Cheers,
