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
