tim graham - the merman lyrics

who would be
a merman bold
sitting alone
singing alone
under the sea
with a crown of gold
on a throne?

i would be a merman bold
i would sit and sing the whole of the day;
i would fill the sea+halls with a voice of power;
but at night i would roam abroad and play
with the mermaids in and out of the rocks
dressing their hair with the white sea+flower;
and holding them back by their flowing locks
i would kiss them often under the sea
and kiss them again till they kiss’d me
laughingly, laughingly;
and then we would wander away, away
to the pale+green sea+groves straight and high
chasing each other merrily

there would be neither moon nor star;
but the wave would make music above us afar —
low thunder and light in the magic night —
neither moon nor star
we would call aloud in the dreamy dells
call to each other and whoop and cry
all night, merrily, merrily;
they would pelt me with starry spangles and sh+lls
laughing and clapping their hands between
all night, merrily, merrily
but i would throw to them back in mine
turkis and agate and almondine;
then leaping out upon them unseen
i would kiss them often under the sea
and kiss them again till they kiss’d me
laughingly, laughingly
oh! what a happy life were mine
under the hollow+hung ocean green!
soft are the moss+beds under the sea;
we would live merrily, merrily
