The Mermaids Song

She swam from the depths of the ocean, The beautiful mermaid of dreams, Her beauty was purely astounding, But sadly not always seen, Apart from the man in the lighthouse, Who was sometimes so lucky to see, This wonderful ocean maiden, Her tail of bright colours so green. Many did not believe him, They thought that he'd turned slightly mad, It was her that he saw neath the moonlight, Her singing, made him feel sad. I am the girl of the ocean she sang, I wish you would come with me, I will show you such wonders, Here in the depths of the sea, His story went on for many years, Until he passed on one day, Someone else would take over his place, Maybe they'll see her one day.
