SUNNY SAILOR BOY

On a day of days I stood and gazed
Over the western sea
Startled and struck, frightened to look
When a mermaid called to me

 Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy

 Like a man in a dream for an age it seemed
I stood as still as a stone
While the mermaid sang and the melody rang
Like a memory calling me home

 Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy

 Then the sea and the wind and the shores did spin
Though my resistance was strong
All the stars in space filled the mermaids face
She captured my will with her song

 Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy

 Somehow I spoke the enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
Like a dream she was gone, what remained was a song
Born on the ebbing tide

 Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy

 Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, Ooh-wha Ooh-wha, my sunny sailor boy
