Mermaid Song

Her voice cries out to you
a song you've never heard
enchanting and enticing you
without a single word

her innocence will capture you
from the very start
you feel the need to shelter her
deep within your heart

She sings for you to take her
away form all her pain
and show her that true happiness
can be hers once again

But she's also very frightened
and does not want to let go
to venture above water
to a world she doesn't know

So she sings her mermaid song
and swims the seas alone
her true identity
remains to you unknown

And there you sit upon the shore
her song has filled your heart
and though you long to be with her
the tides keep you apart
