Julia
Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you, Julia
Julia, Julia, oceanchild, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Julia, seashell eyes, windy smile, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Her hair of floating sky is shimmering, glimmering,
In the sun
Julia, Julia, morning moon, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
When I cannot sing my heart
I can only speak my mind, Julia
Julia, sleeping sand, silent cloud, touch me
So I sing a song of love, Julia
Hum hum hum hum...calls me
So I sing a song of love for Julia, Julia, Julia
Information
Just as John was beginning to get to know his mother, Julia, she
was knocked down and killed by a speeding policeman that was late
for work. This traumatic experience obviously influenced his writing
but this is the first time that she is directly refferred to in his
songs.
The first two lines of the song are taken from a collection of Proverbs,
"Sand and Foam" by Kahlil Gibran. The "ocean child"
is thought to be Yoko.
