Lady Of The Sea - Seth Lakeman

Out of the moonlight in the month of May

This ship would take her last breath

Her full mast it was draping

Like a mermaid she was dressed

Her lonely heart is setting free

All her cares they went sailing out to sea

All those people gathered round

Flocked to view that lovely sight

All young maidens came to town

They waved her out into the night

She tried to clear the rocks with swelling

Sails

The ocean beat her everytime

And with a crack her body failed

Sea engulfed and filled our eyes

When the news returned to the town

Every maid sat on the pier

With lovers lost and fathers never found

For now that mermaid’s dressed in tears

Her lonely heart has set us free

As all our prayers they went sailing out to

Sea

You can hear her calling

Now that mermaid’s dressed in tears
