In the Wind and a Whirl with a Mermaid Girl
Is it the waves upon the shore
or do you hear something more
Is it the wind blowing throgh the trees
or mermaids singing in the breeze
We sail past the distant beach
I look for her on a beam reach
I listen for her singing her song
;with moonlight waves following along
I find myself wishing for
rerain
an unforgetable night
an embrace till dawn
A memorable day
of swimming away
to the sand on the shore
in a sailor lore
in the wind and a whirl
with a mermaid gurk
A love sparked by a shooting star
that lights the flame and jumps the heart
of every sailor in the night
is it a mermaid in dim light
I am rebuked by a wise old bird
so I cut him down without a word
Don't mock me in a way to scold
There is such a thing as a heart of gold
That just makes me just want it more
an unforgettable night
an embrace till dawn
a memorable day
of swimming away
to the sand on the shore
in a sailor's lore
in the wind and a whirl
with a mermaid girl
A warship's shadow in the night
canons have us in thier sight
the bombs burst at the gun's roar
we go down far from the shore
Sailor man you tell me more
tell the truth down to the core
staring down this pistol's bore
How did YOU make to the shore
A love sparked by a shooting star
that lights the flame and jumps the heart
of every sailor in the night
it was wonderful and so right
refrain
an unforgettable night
an embrace till dawn
a memorable day
of sailing away
to the sand on the shore
in a sailor's lore
in the wind and a whirl
with mermaid girl
This is not the time to dance
I'll give you one more chance
Sailor man you're gonna die
if you're telling me a lie
Is it the waves pon the shore
or do you hear something more
Is it the wind blowing through the trees
or mermaids singing in the breee
Don't you ever wish for
an unforgettable night
an embrface till dawn
a memorable day
of swimming away
to the sand on the shore
in a sailor's lore
in the wind and a whirl
with a mermaid girl
Why yes, yes of course I do
But who out there wouldn't want to
You are right and good for you
That just makes my story true.
