I rode on the crest of the wave.

The smooth rolling crest of the wave.

On a kelp bed at night.

In the soft moonlight.

Sweet lullabies soothed me to sleep.

And through nights beyond compare

Mermaids combing silken hair

Sang lullabies to sooth me to sleep,

Tender lullabies to sooth me to sleep.

But I yearned for the land
