The Sea

I must go down to the sea again, the lonely sea and the sky
Where I once met my love, underneath the moonlit sky
I said I 'd meet him there, but he was nowhere to be seen
Up and down those dunes I paced, my patience wearing thin

It was a crystal clear day, as I sat waiting for him
the scene in front of me, such a scintillating sea,
mesmerizing me, I sat here and waited,
And waited on and on, I got my book out, immersing myself in it

I forgot I was waiting for my love, for the beauty around me.
As if in a dream land, indeed I was, sitting by the whispering sea
The magical music, seemed so far away, as I listen keenly,
and followed the enchanting sound as I waded into the sea  

as far as my knees it was a crystal clear day, like no other
and the sound didn't seem to be so far away...
as I walked in a little further, there was a peal of laughter
it made me smile to such a lovely sound, the whispering became quieter.  

As I stood my ground then I spied a movement, just to the left of me
I swear I saw a mermaid, cavorting in the sea, she did some flips,
And her tail I did see, curiosity took the better of her,
as she wanted a better look at me, I waved at her she waved back at me,

the enchantment of her song, was something else you see
it was heavenly.
