Out of the moonlight in the month of May,
This ship would take her last breath.
Her full mast it was draping,
Like a mermaid she was dressed.
Her lonely heart is setting free,
As all her cares they went sailing out to sea.
And all those people they gathered round,
And flocked to view that lovely sight.
And all young maidens they came to town,
They waved her out on through the night.
Her lonely heart is setting free,
As all her cares they went sailing out to sea.
She tried to clear the rocks with swelling
Sails,
The ocean beat her everytime,
And with a crack her body failed.
But the sea engulfed and filled her eyes.
Her lonely heart is setting free,
As all her cares they went sailing out to sea.
I can hear her calling,I can hear her calling,
I can hear her calling back to me.
And when the news returned to the town,
Well every maid sat on the pier,
If lovers lost and fathers never found,
For now that mermaid's dressed in tears.
Her lonely heart is setting free,
As all our prayers they went sailing out to
Sea.
I can hear her calling,I can hear her calling,
I can hear her calling back to me,
Now that mermaid's dressed in tears,
I feel that mermaid's dressed in tears,
I see that mermaid's dressed in her tears.
