Intro:
Out of the moonlight in the month of May,
This ship would take her last breath.
Her full mast it was draping,
Like a mermaid she was dressed.
Chorus:
Her lonely heart is setting free,
(one strum)
All her cares they went sailing out to sea.
All those people gathered round,
Flocked to view that lovely sight.
All young maidens came to town,
They waved her out into the night.
[Back to Chorus]
Bridge:
I can hear her calling
I can hear her calling
I can hear her calling out to me
Now that mermaid's dressed in tears
She tried to clear the rocks with swelling
sails,
The ocean beat her everytime,
And with a crack her body failed.
Sea engulfed and filled our eyes.
[Back to Chorus]
When the news returned to the town,
Every maid sat on the pier,
With lovers lost and fathers never found,
For now that mermaid`s dressed in tears.
[Variation Chorus]
Her lonely heart has set us free,
As all our prayers they went sailing out to
sea.
I can hear her calling
I can hear her calling
I can hear her calling out to me
Now that mermaid's dressed in tears x3
