The Mermaid Songtext
von Kate Rusby

Farewell the rolling hills
And farewell to the fields
Farewell love, my fate tonight is sealed
On the sea love, on the sea

High are the daunting waves
And bold the wind it blows
And I can see love, the mermaid and she knows
On the sea love, on the sea

And peace as the sea it comes
And peace now in her arms
Where are we love?
Sleeping in the sea

My father built a bonny ship
And set her on the sea
It was his joy love, he gave that ship to me
On the sea love, on the sea


On oceans high and oceans low
We sailed that ship around
We owned the tide love, [?]
On the sea love, on the sea

And peace now the sea it comes
And peace now in her arms
Where are we love?
Sleeping in the sea

And three times the ship went round
And three times round went she
Its murky deep love, and far away from ye
On the sea love, on the sea

Farewell the rolling hills
And farewell to the fields
Farewell love, my fate tonight is sealed
On the sea love, on the sea

And peace now the sea it comes
And peace now in her arms
Where are we love?
Sleeping in the sea
It′s where I'll be love-
Sleeping in the sea
