Conceived in blue waters nurtured by the sun
A delicate and graceful mammal plays
Searching for the substance that makes her daily bread
Water lilies and hyacinth of green
Well she likes the warm clear waters that kiss the southern land
The sea cow is our friend - it’s nature’s plan
Though she’s welcomed us as brothers - we’ve turned away her hand
Silly humans you still don’t understand
Pioneers and sailors -
on sleepless lonely nights
Saw a mermaid beauty in their eyes
And though she’s oddly portioned – in height and weight and
size
Her warm and gentle waves will make you smile
Well she likes the warm clear waters that kiss the southern land
The sea cow is our friend - it’s nature’s plan
Though she’s welcomed us as brothers - we’ve turned away her hand
Silly humans you still don’t understand
Well she likes the warm clear waters that kiss the southern land
The sea cow is our friend - it’s nature’s plan
Though she’s welcomed us as brothers - we’ve turned away her hand
Silly humans you still don’t understand
Silly humans when will we understand |
