Girl from the Sea

Got a book for my birthday  It was a story about a mermaid  And ever since she was little  She could hear the sea whisper  Aaah ah..  And every day before bedtime  She looked out the window Sighing at the fishermen  She knew she was an odd creature  And in her, I found a friend  Like she was representing All the creatures and the misfits that never really blend in She was odd like me  She was odd like me  Oh papa, read the story about the girl from the sea  She was odd like me  She was odd like me  Oh papa, read the story about the girl from the sea  The first time she dipped her toes  She knew that she was at home  And the concert of the wales  Made her feel little less alone  Aaah ah.. In memories of a past life  Of prayers to the lighthouse  They gathered around this magic machine  That told the waves to calm down  And in her, I found a friend  Like she was representing All the creatures and the misfits that never really blend in She was odd like me  She was odd like me  Oh papa, read the story about the girl from the sea  She was odd like me  She was odd like me  Oh papa, read the story about the girl from the sea  And the mama cried  And the papa too  How come that we got to make a mermaid like you? And the evening came  And they let her go  Waving as she swam into the waves from the shore  Knowing that their baby she was finally home She was odd like me  She was odd like me  Oh papa, read the story about the girl from the sea  She was odd like me  She was odd like me  Oh papa, read the story about the girl from the sea  --- Girl from the Sea - Smith & Thell
