Lyrics:

Boy when out on a boat tonight waiting on his lover

Seen his mermaid bride in the moonlight and the arms of another

She said, 'Standing on the water is easier to do

Then to try and be a family living here with you'
And the more I've been thinking
The more I know, you know I'm living
Alone, alone

Now they see him out on the water waves rolling on the foam

Only memories for a future, only an ocean for a home

'Cause Amelia's the name that she calls herself these days
And, 'Birds, birds!', is all we heard before she flew away
And the more I've been thinking
The more I know, you know I'm living
Alone, alone
Alone, alone
