Merman and his Maid

On the border between the land and sea Two worlds colliding in a magic mystery Forbidden lovers meant to belong as one A mythical woman and normal fisherman The waves are crashing and winds cores the shore Over the seaboard village of old Ballintore You sat there waiting on the harbour rock Every morning when I left my home for work Now you're just a picture living in my mind A distant memory I can't change back Your smile is engraved into my eyes I'll pray for your return just one last time I'll tell you the tale - the merman and his maid Who lost each other through the violent winter storm Heart of the ocean and the soul of the sea You swam away from me after I set you free Sat on the harbour, I stare on at the spot Where we watched the sunset until darkness came They grew suspicious, I couldn't have you harmed But moving on without you seems to be so hard I'll wait here for you as long as it will take Cause you're the only one who made my old heart break Now you're just a picture living in my mind A distant memory I can't change back Your smile is engraved into my eyes I'll pray for your return just one last time I'll tell you the tale - the merman and his maid Who lost each other through the violent winter storm Only without me, you're still the same Only without me, you haven't changed Only without me, you're moving on I guess I held you tight but now you're free
