Sunny Sailor Boy |
On a day of days |
I stood and gazed |
Over the western sea |
Startled and struck |
Frightened to look |
When a mermaid called to me |
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh |
My sunny sailor boy |
Like a man in a dream |
For an age it seemed |
I stood as still as a stone |
While the mermaid sang |
And her melody rang |
Like a harmony calling me home |
Then the sea and the wind |
And the shores did spin |
Though my resistance was strong |
All the stars in space |
Filled the mermaid’s face |
She captured my will with her song |
Somehow I spoke |
The enchantment broke |
I rubbed my eyes open wide |
Like a dream she was gone |
What remained was a song |
Borne on the ebbing tide |
