Song Of The Mermaid Lyrics - Waterboys

On a day of days 

I stood and gazed 

Over the western sea 

I was completely dazed, 

Wide-mouthed and amazed 

when a mermaid called to me 

Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy 

ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, 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

Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy 

ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy 

Then the sea and the wind 

and the shores did spin 

And though my resistance was strong 

all the stars in space 

Filled the mermaid's face 

as she captured my will with her song 

Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy 

ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy

Somehow I spoke -- 

the enchantment broke 

I rubbed my eyes open wide 

like a dream she was gone 

All that remained was a song 

borne on the ebbing tide 

Ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy 

ooh-Ooooh Ooooooooooh, my sunny sailor boy
