Neptune's Daughter
While walking along on a rocky sea shore On a wild wet windy day I heard a sweet voice cry in the wind Saying "Lover come to me" O'er the jagged rocks I scrambled Fingers cut down to the core Saw the light of a lady She was sitting alone on the shore "Lady all alone please tell me, Why do you cry for me? Why do sit in the cold and sing, Sing out to the sea?" "Well I sing for my loved ones Lost in the silvery sea Sing for my homeland so dear Sing to draw your heart near. So please kind sir will you help me To find my way home I've travelled the seven blue oceans. Now I'm stranded here all alone My brothers they are dying From a plague running wild and free Their bodies all covered in the blackest of oil That floats on top of the sea. And my sisters are in hiding Letras de cancionesAfraid others may see their shame Their bodies all twisted, broken and lame Deep in the watery main. So please kind sir will you help me To find my way home I've travelled the seven blue oceans, How I'm stranded here all alone. If you promise you will take me To the edge of the silvery sea I'll give you all your heart's desires All your eyes they do see" O'er the jagged rocks I carried her To the edge of the silvery sea I laid her down and kissed her sweet lips Saying "Lover, now you are free" But she clung on to my arms And she would not let me be She clung on so fast she pulled me down Down to the bottom of the sea From Letras Mania
