Sunny Sailor Boy letra

On a day of days
I stood and gazed
over the western sea
I was completely dazed
wide-mouthed and amazed
when a mermaid called to me

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo
My sunny sailor boy

Like a man in a dream
for an age it seemed
I stood as still as a stone
while the creature sang
and her melody rang
like a memory calling me home

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo
My sunny sailor boy

Then the sea and the wind
and the shore did spin
and though my resistance was strong
all the stars of space
filled the mermaid's face
as she captured my will with her song

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo
My sunny sailor boy

Somehow I spoke
The enchantment broke
I rubbed my eyes open wide
Like a dream she was gone
- all that remained was her song
borne on the ebbing tide

Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh
Oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-wo
My sunny sailor boy
