Story Behind The Song

Mermaid Song © 2010 doesn't it make you want to sing feel the waves calling follow the yellow brick horizon into the sea listen to the mermaids sing makes this sailor long for the sea an enchanted voyage is waiting for me a sea bird's call said "love conquers all" silence waited for my reply an echo of my words sang through the birds my sentence my own trial said "guilty sailor you left an anchor at home you speak of love - but you sing a mermaid's song" then the wind came - her sailor sailed away yes, he sang a song that made him forget her name but far out to sea the wind became a breeze then an awful calm took the wind out of his song no matter how he yelled - he couldn't fill his sails he drifted in the insane silence of his own private hell a sea bird's call "says love conquers all" silence was his dying reply
