Mermaids lyrics

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 storm
