THE MERMAID'S WAIT


She lay in the sand, on a distant shore
Her hair the colour of red
She asked the sun, she asked the sky
Am I living or am I dead

I am from far, I am from near
The world has gone all dark
I see no stars, I have such fear
No birds are singing here


I never wished, for a sky so grey,
The ocean is what I need
I never wished, for a beach so cold
Or a sun, that won’t see me

The ocean is my only home
It’s the place I long to be
All I want is to find a way
To the stars I need to see


She called to the waves, they rolled to the coast
No one would carry her home
She called to the sun, but it would not play
It sunk into the sea


The mermaid cried, a silent plea
Tell the waves to stay
The sea then built a ship of waves
And made them head her way


I am in the sea, in the blue and gold
My home is there for me
My hair burns red, my eyes are green
I am a flower of the sea
I am in the sea, in the blue and gold
My castle is there for me
My hair burns red, the Mermaid sang
I am a flower of the sea
