Lyrics
Drifting along on a lonely sea
a mermaid's song casts its spell on me
so sweet and soft on the nighttime air
who sings this song somewhere out there?
Here in the night, clearly as a bell
in a siren's song she casts her spell
What is it that hangs on the nighttime air?
Who sings this song somewhere out there?
Oh, maiden fair, who I cannot see
why do you sing this song to me
so sweet and soft on the nighttime air?
Who sings this song somewhere out there?
