~ Away from Sea ~

There she sits up on a stone

where the wind comes blow her hair

and the white foam of the sea

come to lick the shiny scales

There she waits for such a thing

that only her heart can explain

nor the fish, and nor the birds

nor the wind, the stars, the moon

no force of nature in her world

can her desire restrain

'cause she has lost her pure heart

in earth far away from sea

where those who have feet can walk

and where no mermaids can be

where the sea breeze reaches land

and blows up the orange tree

there we find his long demand

watching all day long, the sea

in the blue, the dolphin sing

telling tales for her to hear

'though she can not hear no thing

but the calling of her dear
