Mermaid

I saw her just the other day
Swimming in a Western bay
I saw her face
I knew it was love.

Smiling mermaid of the Seven Seas
It was then she looked at me
I saw her face
I knew it was love.

And she called out my name
And I knew it would never be the same to me
In waves of crashing ecstasy
She's calling me from an emerald sea
Mermaid.

The sunset came and the full moon rose
A windy beach where no one goes
To water's edge, I walked along.

And then a voice called out to me
As moonlight swept the endless sea
So beautiful, her mermaid song.

And the Moon, it did rise
As I looked into her deep blue eyes
And heard the roar
Of breakers on that ancient shore
So close to me forever more
Mermaid.

She will be there
When I want her
Swimming out, into the blue.

Like an angel
On a seashell
Ocean girl, I love you
And you know she'll always be
Shining mermaid of the sea.

And she called out my name
And I knew it would never be the same to me
In waves of crashing ecstasy
She's calling me from an emerald sea
Mermaid.
