Traded sea for land Now my home my friend There's an island down in the south Where I chose to spend the rest of my time Long time ago when we were young You sailed the seas and I followed you around Never set my tail on the ground Sea was my home, sea was my town Come to me, I wait by the sea Play me a tune about the far desert dunes Now my hair is green My tail, once blue, now brown roots I'm still singing to the waves I just put away my swimming suit Used to be a maiden of the seas Now a tree in the sun never leaving the ground I still breathe the ocean breeze And I sing out your name in hope that you'll come around Come to me, I wait by the sea Play me a tune about the far desert dunes Come to me, I wait by the sea Play me a tune about the lands that a mermaid tree can't see Come Come to me Come I wait by the sea
