I was on a ship;
Set my sails ablaze
I closed my eyes

Left it to the wind and waves
Swore each storm






Would surely be my last
Then one foggy morn
That vessel hit land


Chorus:
There was a girl on the beach

With the glint of love in her eyes
She was calling out to me
Was it the wind, the tide?

Was it fate, was it the fire?

I was on a ship

With a thirsty anchor
I left it in the other world
And for that, I have to thank her


Repeat chorus:


I can still hear the ocean groaning
I can still hear the mermaids song
I put my ear to the shell and I'm drowning

I can taste the salt in the fog
