Sunny Sailor Boy Lyrics - Amsterdam - Luka Bloom

On a day of days 

I stood and gazed 

Over the western sea 

Startled and struck 

Frightened to look 

When a mermaid called to me 

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah 

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah 

My sunny sailor boy 

Like a man in a dream 

For an age it seemed 

I stood as still as a stone 

While the mermaid sang 

And her melody rang 

Like a memory calling me home 

Then the sea and the wind 

And the shores did spin 

Though my resistance was strong 

All the stars in space 

Filled the mermaid's face 

She captured my will with her song 

Somehow I spoke 

The enchantment broke 

I rubbed my eyes open wide 

Like a dream she was gone 

What remained was a song 

Borne on the ebbing tide 

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah 

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah 

My sunny sailor boy
