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-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
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 her melody rang
Like a memory calling me home

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
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 mermaid's face
She capturеd my will with her song

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy

Somehow I spoke
Thе enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
Like a dream she was gone
What remained was a song
Borne on the ebbing tide

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy

Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy
Ooh-wah Ooh-wah-Ooh
My sunny sailor boy
