If you met a mermaid, would your friends believe you?
lyrics
So sit with me, my little ones thee round the fire then we'll flee.
“You'll stray no more, on Sirenian Shores”, those Mermaids lied to me.
As I was walkin' alone one morn the sunshine fell on me
My eyes they caught a glimpse of light and along shores they be
I guessed my luck had not run out from the night of gambling see
For I heard a Sirens tune afloat along that placid sheen
Now sit with me, my little ones thee round the fire then we'll flee
“You'll stray no more, on Sirenian Shores”, those Mermaids sang to me.
With a “whoop!” and “Ahoy!” I told my boys of the treasure I did spy
They snickered and scoffed and said “Be off!” but I didn't tell a lie
I had seen a girl with a string of pearls in her flaxen hair and eye
A precious doe from great below but and she sang with tear and sigh
So come with me, my little ones thee round the fire then we'll flee
“You stray no more, on Sirenian Shores, those Mermaids sang to me.
With that I dove in the lovely cove and when I opened my eyes I see
A world of wonder lustful blunder of the Merfolk well indeed
Of the treasures I took, come here take a look, this one it spoke to me
A mermaids ring, glittery thing singing sapphires of two and three
So listen to me, my little ones three round the fire then we'll flee
“You'll stare no more, on Sirenian Shores, those Mermaids.... they warned me
My work cut short I felt a torque and was siezed around my knee
I breathed no air then I looked up “There!” through the darkened depths I see
I kicked and glucked but alas, no luck then resigned to the depths of the sea
In all despair I didn't care, for the Mermaids they'd taken me
So come to me, my little ones three round the fire and we'll flee
“You'll breath no more, on Sirenian Shores, those Mermaids captured me
(Double Break)
Then out of the dark I woke like a shark and finally kicked them free
I swam to the seals with their nails on my heels as I bolted from the sea
To the air I pray “On the shore I'll stay!” abide to them I see
I'm here with you the, sing the melody of the Mermaids Reverie!
Now upon my knee, my little ones thee round the fire our minds flee
“I'll wander no more on Sirenian Shores... Oh the Mermaids lie to me.
