The swell of the ocean, the salt of the sea This movement and motion is foreign to me My homeland behind, a vast distance ahead The warnings of sailors have filled me with dread
They told me old tales of the bravest of heart Mysterious fathoms that some men can chart Of the ones who discover, while other men sleep The creatures that lurk in the cool briny deep
But they say, in the sea There are mermaids wild and free Keeping watch in the storm Guide you home, safe from harm They will keep you safe in the storm
Storm clouds are brewing, the wind lifts to blow Moving and tossing, the pewter waves grow Terrible beauty, swift lightning and rain I'm afraid for my life on the cruel raging main
But they say, in the sea There are mermaids wild and free Keeping watch in the storm Guide you home, safe from harm They will keep you safe in the storm
Our ship made it through with a patchwork of scars Wreckage of wood ‘neath the stillness of stars The horizon goes on for miles and for years I play a sad song, but nobody hears
Daylight breaks early, there's sighting of land I find that I may have the strength left to stand Their good mission over, our guardians must go The mermaids return to the fathoms below
Oh they say, in the sea There are mermaids wild and free Keeping watch in the storm Guide you home, safe from harm
Oh they say, in the sea There are mermaids wild and free Keeping watch in the storm Guide you home, safe from harm They will keep you safe in the stormTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
