Текст песни The Mermaid (Mandolin Version) - Deborah Stokol

She sits on her rock every morning
She waits for the ships to roll by
She wonders if there is a love, on that rig
There so nigh

He knots and heaves on port and starboard
He stares at the restless, grey seas
He thinks, there beyond, just beyond
There's a Lady for me

By the moon
If he's brave
It's a bed
Not a grave

Tip the scales
Hoisted sails
Join(s) the blue
For love so true

One night, a great squall came a-thundering
The waves rose as tall as the skies
He fell from the beams, weakened knees
As she swam to his side

She lifted the gasping, young sailor
Was tender but strong with her aid
He awoke on her rock, a bruised head
But full Soul for this maid

Asked, what's your name
Miss Coral Mane?"
She told of Home
And Tethys' throne

Though born far-flung
Different hearths
Shared Mother Tongue
Of Loving Hearts

There are castles there
Made of kelp
Not of sand, not of air
With pearl inlaid chairs

She wears a crown
Sea foam gown, sharp-eyed stare
Amber hair, proud and fair
In her golden lair

How to say farewell
To all he'd known?
And follow
Where winds had blown

What is it that
He
Must
Do?

Beneath the night's gems made a promise
Spoke Vows sealed in forevermore
The hake and the cod witness to
Dance on the ocean floor

The gulls cried their congratulations!
The albatross overhead flew
White caps lapped and sighed
As he looked in her eyes, said, I do

Craved her Song
Now he's gone
Sees there's More
Beneath the Shore

Takes her Hand
Leaves the Land
To join the Blue
For love so True

He tucks himself into the Waters
Sleeps the old sleep as they gleam
Dreamers, we're all, and the
Call will come when Sirens Sing

Dreamers, we're all, and the
Call will come when Sirens Sing

Dreamers, we're all, and the
Call will come when Sirens Sing

Sirens singing
Sirens sing
Sirens singing
Sirens sing
