Lyrics:

Mermaid comes up smiling with a grin that's big and wide She's been swimming and a-swirling In the lace that she's been wearing and she's



SKIPPING AND A-TWIRLING, SPINNING IN HIS DREAMS LIKE A SHELL TWISTS ROUND IN SPIRALS WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES, WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES



And the man who almost caught her will search through every ocean But you can bet there's a hole in his net That's the reason why he'll never catch her



SKIPPING AND A-TWIRLING, SPINNING IN HIS DREAMS LIKE A SHELL TWISTS ROUND IN SPIRALS WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES, WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES



For every grain of sand that gets washed up on the land There's another mermaid smiling and another searching fisherman



SKIPPING AND A-TWIRLING, SPINNING IN HIS DREAMS LIKE A SHELL TWISTS ROUND IN SPIRALS WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES, WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES



(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) (2x)
