Wistful Mermaid
beneath a midnight starry dome
tonight the moon and stars offer no solace
just my luck to fall in love with a human
hopeless dreams ghastly haunt me
as dry land and destiny
dreadfully keep us apart
i can only love you from afar
this is a no win situation
as your ship travels the high seas
i serenade to keep you safe
but to my core I yearn to seduce you
and bring you forever to my realm
