The Tiger Lillies - In The Waves lyrics

I live under the sea and a mermaid loves me We play in the waves day after day Then one day a storm does come and my mermaid has gone, Gone away So the sea birds cry away and all I can do is pray in the waves Sea serpent her does take left alone in heartbreak up in the waves So I wait for her return and my heart does burn Found the serpent and cut his throat and his corpse does float In the sea she will roam till one day she comes home in the waves
