The Mermaid Song

I thought I saw a glimmer, an iridescent shimmer of green
Out on the horizon of the summertime sea
The sun in sinking slowly was painting all this lonely marine
Out on the horizon of the summertime sea

The sun and the moon, the moon and the stars
Are drifting over the sea
Asleep and awake, awake in a dream
Do I see is she swimming over to me?

Her hair was like a coral
Her eyes they stole the soul out of me
I thought I'd stay forever on the summertime sea
Her ending was a tail, was this only a sailor's fantasy?
I wished to stay forever on the summertime sea

The sun and the moon, the moon and the stars
Are drifting over the sea
Asleep and awake, awake in a dream
Do I see is she swimming over to me?

The sun and the moon, the moon and the stars
Are drifting over the sea
Asleep and awake, awake in a dream
Do I see is she swimming over to me?

I thought I saw a glimmer, an iridescent shimmer of green
Out on the horizon (of the summertime)
Out on the horizon (wish that she was lying out on the horizon)
Of the summertime sea
