Lyrics
We used to sit on the sand and watch the sea
I once said to him, I think it's coming to get me
To take me back to my mermaid roots'
We used to watch the surfers ride the waves
He once said to me Would you like to be saved
Or touch the most forbidden fruits?'
And now I sit alone on a lonely beach
And I say to myself Salvation's so out of reach
I remember the days when you were here'
And I watch the surfers ride the waves
Till they crash on the shore
Oh those lonely, lonely days
Now with my little girl I walk the shore
My baby says to me What are you crying for?
I see that you are sad inside'
Georgelaine, there's a story I'll tell you
Many years from now, about what the sea means to me,
Now go to your dad while I wipe my eyes'
You to me were the waves themselves
Pounding relentlessly
And I still see you
Wish I could say that I can only see the sea
Momma, there's this guy, I love him so
I know I'm just sixteen, but how do you know
When you're too young to take a chance?'
And I told her of how, when I met you
All the things we had, do you miss them too?
And she knew deep down, with just a glance
I don't know, we were too young
I could never trust your unsung heroes
You to me were the passing breeze
That fills my soul with memories
