Beckoning me down to the shore He taciturnly touched my heart as cupid to the very core Where seagulls do swoop down and land We make indents into the sizzling sun-drenched sand But our footprints are stolen by the tide To a child, I am not magically mentioned in the sand as a merwoman, for my burly legs strongly stretch and burrow wide Seashells, seashells, the gust of wind does sway you Barren landscape, bare skin, the sea washes away my name So that I can with gaiety start a new chapter; a new game But his heart may wander away as he too glances with adventure across the blissful bay For sea shore summer lust, lacklustre may not be here to stay
