lirik lagu ginny di - the wave-soaked maiden
[verse 1]
one gray day so thick with fog
the clouds hung heavy and low
a fisherman out on the waves
pulled his nets up from below
tangled up amongst the cod
and bass and brill and bream
was something strange and scaly
like a vision from a dream
[refrain 1]
la da da da, da da da da da, a vision from a dream
[verse 2]
she had fins where her feet should be
her eyes were dark as a storm:
the siren that he caught upon
that gray and fateful morn
behind her lips, her t~~th were sharp ~
much sharper than his knives!
she said to him, “come closer, sir
and i’ll eat you alive.”
[refrain 2]
la da da da, da da da da da, i’ll eat you alive
[chorus]
beware the wave~soaked maidens
to whom the depths belong!
if you sail upon their waters
then you won’t sail for long!
[verse 3]
he trembled as she gazed at him;
her eyes were hungry and cold
she was a sight both terrible
and lovely to behold
“please don’t feast upon my flesh,”
he begged her to forgive
“if i return you to the sea
then won’t you let me live?”
[refrain 3]
la da da da, da da da da da, won’t you let me live?
[verse 4]
she looked at him upon his knees
and thought him a pitiful sight
she told him, “i will let you go
but quickly take your flight
“if ever you should drop your nets
again amongst these waves
then me, and all my sisters here
will drag you to your grave.”
[refrain 4]
la da da da, da da da da da, drag you to your grave
[chorus]
beware the wave~soaked maidens
to whom the depths belong!
if you sail upon their waters
then you won’t sail for long!
[verse 5]
a fortnight hence, he tossed and turned:
her eyes had driven him mad
and when he slept, all he could see
was the lady, seaweed~clad
desperate for just one glimpse more
he took back too the deep
and sure enough, she came to him
with promises to keep
[refrain 5]
la da da da, da da da da da, promises to keep
[verse 6]
she said, “good sir, i warned you once
that you could never return
i should have known right then and there;
your kind will never learn.”
when he saw her sisters rise
he knew that he was d~mned
and now his bones are fathoms~deep
all buried in the sand
[refrain 6]
la da da da, da da da da da, buried in the sand
[chorus]
beware the wave~soaked maidens
to whom the depths belong!
if you sail upon their waters
then you won’t sail for long!
[outro]
if you sail upon their waters
then you won’t sail for long!
