about
Mermaid is a song that I began in 1994 as the guitarist for the band Nostradamus while I was living in Florida, and have since made some more modifications to it. Had the great fortune to work with an arranger who captured all my ideas for it and beyond!
lyrics
I saw her just the other day
Swimming in a Western bay
I saw her face
I knew it was love.
Smiling mermaid of the Seven Seas
Yeah, she looked at me
I saw her face
I knew it was love.
And she called out my name
And I knew it would never be the same to me
In waves of smiling ecstasy
She's calling from an emerald sea
Mermaid, calling me.
The sunset came and full moon rose
A windy beach where no one goes
To water's edge, I came along.
And then a voice called out to me
As moonlight swept the boundless sea
So beautiful, her mermaid song.
And the wind, it did rise
As I looked into her turquoise eyes
And heard the roar
Of breakers on that ancient shore
So close to me forever more
Mermaid, calling me.
She will be there
When I want her
Swimming out, into the blue.
Like an angel
On a seashell
Ocean girl, I love you
And you know she'll always be
Shining mermaid of the sea.
And she called out my name
And I knew it would never be the same to me
In waves of smiling ecstasy
She's calling from an emerald sea
Mermaid, calling me.
