lyrics

Let blow the winds my bonnie lads come sail upon my sea
Beware you of the angry wave that drives your ship to me
Where the ocean boils and the current roils and the salty tides do flow
I’ll await you in my chamber cool below, below, below

She searches for treasures in the sand
Along a ragged wave torn shore line
Rusty comb and mirror in her hand
Crystals on her lips of salty brine
And through the chill twilight the sea-maid sings
From the storm see what the cold tide brings
She’ll offer you treasures from below
But there’s darker things beneath the waves than you could ever know

Let blow the winds my bonnie lads come sail upon my sea
Beware you of the angry wave that drives your ship to me
Where the ocean boils and the current roils and the salty tides do flow
I’ll await you in my chamber cool below, below, below

There’s a calling from the siren of the deep
Her silver scales and lily-white breasts shining
The secrets of Atlantis she will keep
Veiled behind a smile that’s so beguiling
May you catch the fair winds in your sails
To steer far from tempest and from gales
For that beauty with her face pale as the moon
Will call you to rocks and see you to your doom
Let blow the winds my bonnie lads come sail upon my sea
Beware you of the angry wave that drives your ship to me
Where the ocean boils and the current roils and the salty tides do flow
I’ll await you in my chamber cool below, below, below

‘Tis a soulful song that journeys with the tide
from land beneath the sea a cry of yearning
Across the waves where wild, white horses ride
Once cast adrift there can be no returning
Now the sea-witch has you in her thrall
She’s cast her spell, you’ve answered to the call
Now watch your life dance before your eyes
For below the sea you cannot breath and that’s where your fate now lies.

Let blow the winds my bonnie lads come sail upon my sea
Beware you of the angry wave that drives your ship to me
Where the ocean boils and the current roils and the salty tides do flow
I’ll await you in my chamber cool below, below, below
