The Mermaid
Well he heard her singin' all night long
Cryin' out some lonesome song under the moon
And the wind was low, and he felt as though
the things she wanted him to know were comin' soon
And when the tide was high, and the ship was about to leave
These are the words that carried across the sea
She said, "If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will show you all of my thousand names
and if you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will tell you all of my thousand names
La-da-de-la-da-de-ladie-o..."
Well east is east, and west is west
He found that he could not forget that melody
And at night he'd cry, and pray to keep
And wonder if he'd ever sleep enough to dream
And when at last he was sure that his heart it would never mend
She called through the night, and sang to the sky again
She said, "If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will show you all of my thousand names
and If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will tell you all of my thousand names"
And she cried: "Eeeeeee--eeeeeee-eeeeeee!!!"
Yeah, when the tide was high, and and ship was about to leave
He came to his mind, and threw it into the sea
She said, "If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will show you all of my thousand names
and If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will tell you all of my thousand names"
"OOOOh, and , If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will show you all of your thousand names
and If you kiss me one time beneath these waves
Then I will tell you all of your thousand names
La-da-de-la-da-de-ladie-o"
