In the sea lives the mermaid

Beyond the waves where summer feet wade

They want to know if her myth is true

Or a pretty lie

Ev’ry myth lives a half-life

Hidden from view but in our minds’ eye

A singing maiden green and gold

When her voice takes hold

With her siren song

From the ocean cold

Comes the call, comes the call

To a deeper home

And in a gentle tone

Sweetly, sweetly, sweetly

Surges up our longing for the sea

Fleeting, fleeting, fleeting

Is the fear of our mortality

When we depart the shore

Then she takes her toll

More and more and more until the sea

Takes us whole

Our soul, our soul, our soul, our soul, our soul …

From beyond the realm

Of the sailor’s helm

Comes the call, comes the call

Of a mermaid voice

Hear it, we have no choice

Falling, falling, falling

Deep beneath the swell of wind and sea

Floating, floating, floating

Out beyond the place we ought to be

When we depart the shore

Then she takes her toll

More and more and more until the sea

Takes us whole

Our soul, our soul, our soul, our soul, our soul …
