Neptune's Daughter

While walking along on a rocky sea shore

On a wild wet windy day

I heard a sweet voice cry in the wind

Saying "Lover come to me"

O'er the jagged rocks I scrambled

Fingers cut down to the core

Saw the light of a lady

She was sitting alone on the shore

"Lady all alone please tell me,

Why do you cry for me?

Why do sit in the cold and sing,

Sing out to the sea?"

"Well I sing for my loved ones

Lost in the silvery sea

Sing for my homeland so dear

Sing to draw your heart near.

So please kind sir will you help me

To find my way home

I've travelled the seven blue oceans.

Now I'm stranded here all alone

My brothers they are dying

From a plague running wild and free

Their bodies all covered in the blackest of oil

That floats on top of the sea.

And my sisters are in hiding

Afraid others may see their shame

Their bodies all twisted, broken and lame

Deep in the watery main.

So please kind sir will you help me

To find my way home

I've travelled the seven blue oceans,

How I'm stranded here all alone.

If you promise you will take me

To the edge of the silvery sea

I'll give you all your heart's desires

All your eyes they do see"

O'er the jagged rocks I carried her

To the edge of the silvery sea

I laid her down and kissed her sweet lips

Saying "Lover, now you are free"

But she clung on to my arms

And she would not let me be

She clung on so fast she pulled me down

Down to the bottom of the sea
