Neptune's Daughter

She was sitting on the beach Near the wayward sea Her beauty took my breath away And I wondered who she could be Her long hair was like spun gold Blowing in the breeze She was drawing pictures in the sand Of beautiful birds and trees When she looked up and saw me She smiled, then turned away I wanted so much to talk to her But didn't know what to say When I asked what her name was She just shook her head After a few more questions I realized She didn't understand a word I said I tried the "Me Tarzan, You Jane " But that went no where quick She just gave me a funny look And picked up her drawing stick She drew herself and other things That live beneath the water Broke my heart when it dawned on me She was Neptune's lovely daughter I told my friends about her And I know they think I'm lying But when I find her drawings in the sand I know there is no denying
