SINGER: Lorien

SONG:The Silent Mermaid

I am a mermaid in love with a man
so i was punished, my tongue was cut off
i can sing no more but i talk with tears
pain fills my heart drown in fear.
I spend my time gazing at ships passing by
looking for my beloved among the crew
i swim towards him 'till he looks at me
hoping he will guess my desire.
[chorus]
if i only could sing
i would have his heart
in my hand.
He would be caught
in the spell
cast by my melody.
[bridge]
(but) i'm a silent mermaid
i'm mute forevermore
even if i weep
i wont be heard.
I am eager to save from a wreck
my dear sailor to be close to him
in a tight embrace we will reach the shore
i will not let him leave me alone.
It's hard to remember how long i have been
waiting for my lucky day to come
though i have no voice
my lips hope to kiss
and my heart is filled
