The sun dips to kiss the ocean’s lips
Amongst the fire raining down from the sky
A maiden stands safely on the shoreline
Rooted in the shifting sand
Tempted to join the dance
A smile takes form and longing breathes
The moon gently caresses the sea
Displacing its rival, the sun
Sighs of pleasure raise the tide
Wetting the feet upon the beach
Solemn eyes observe receding waves
Unfulfilled wishes scar the soul
A solitary silhouette forevermore
A landlocked lass with mermaid dreams
Amongst the fire raining down from the sky
A maiden stands safely on the shoreline
Rooted in the shifting sand
Tempted to join the dance
A smile takes form and longing breathes
The moon gently caresses the sea
Displacing its rival, the sun
Sighs of pleasure raise the tide
Wetting the feet upon the beach
Solemn eyes observe receding waves
Unfulfilled wishes scar the soul
A solitary silhouette forevermore
A landlocked lass with mermaid dreams
