Lyrics The Lady Of The Sea

Inspired by a Cornish ship wreck in 1780 at Silver Dollar Bay. People still dig for her treasure.

Out of the moonlight in the month of May,
This ship would take her last breath.
Her full mast it was draping,
Like a mermaid she was dressed.

Her lonely heart is setting free,
All her cares they went sailing out to sea.

All those people they gathered round,
Flocked to view that lovely sight.
All young maidens came to town,
They waved her out into the night.

She tried to clear the rocks with swelling sails,
The ocean beat her everytime,
And with a crack her body failed.
Sea engulfed and filled our eyes.

When the news returned to the town,
Every maid sat on the pier,
With lovers lost and fathers never found,
For now that mermaid`s dressed in tears.

Her lonely heart is setting free,
As all our prayers they went sailing out to sea.
I can hear her calling x2
I can hear her calling back to me
Now that mermaid`s dressed in tears.
Feel that mermaid dressed in tears
see that mermaid dressed in her tears.
