"The Mermaid" Sereia Do Mar

I was at sea

And on my own, sailing so free

I was alone, lost in my thoughts

And melodies, suddenly thrown

And helplessly blown

Windy the storm

So quick it came, wild and warm

I felt the rain as I was swept

Across the waves, I saw a face

Such beautiful grace

Stories of old

And sailor's songs often have told

Lovely ladies who dwell the sea

They sing of love as sweet as can be

But never speak

They love men who sail the sea

In their hearts, they know love never can be

Adrift and afraid

What hope I had beginning to fade

And looking bad, then I was saved

A miracle as a mermaid, sang her serenade

All through the night

Until the dawn she held me tight

The clouds had gone, she led the way

We headed home, tears in her eyes

We said our goodbyes

Sailing the sea

Sailing so free

They know love never can be

After this night
