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
