She sits on her rock every morning
She waits for the ships to roll by
She wonders if there is a Love, on that rig,
There so nigh
He knots and heaves on port and starboard
He stares at the restless, grey seas
He thinks, "there beyond -- just beyond --
There's a Lady for me--"
By the moon
If he's brave
It's a bed
Not a grave
Tip the scales
Hoisted sails
Join(s) the Blue
For Love so True
One night, a great squall came a-thundering
The waves rose as tall as the skies
He fell from the beams, weakened knees
As she swam to his side
She lifted the gasping, young sailor
Was tender but strong in her aid
He awoke on her rock, a bruised head
But full Soul for this maid
Asked, "what's your name,
Miss Coral Mane?"
She told of Home
And Tethys' throne
Though born far-flung
Different hearths
Shared Mother Tongue
Of Loving Hearts
There are castles there
Made of kelp
Not of sand, not of air
With pearl inlaid chairs
She wears a crown
Sea foam gown, sharp-eyed stare
Amber hair, proud and fair
In her golden lair
How to say farewell
To all he'd known?
And follow
Where winds had blown
What is it that
He
Must
Do?
Beneath the night's gems made a Promise
Spoke Vows sealed in Forevermore
The hake and the cod witness to
Dance on the ocean floor
The gulls cried their Congratulations!
The albatross overhead flew
White caps lapped and sighed
As he looked in her eyes, said, "I do."
Craved her Song
Now he's gone
Sees there's More
Beneath the Shore
Takes her Hand
Leaves the Land
To join the Blue
For Love so True
He tucks himself into the Waters
Sleeps the Old Sleep as they gleam
Dreamers, we're all, and the
Call will come when Sirens Sing
Dreamers, we're all, and the
Call will come when Sirens Sing
Dreamers, we're all, and the
Call will come when Sirens Sing
