Seaweed
I have heard the mermaids singing each to each
I hear them still as I walk along the beach
I do not think they'll sing for me
I hear their singing like I once heard you
Their voices elusive, soft, melodious and true
But I do not think you'll sing for me
No, I do not think you'll sing for me
Again
Like them I see you riding seaward
On the waves away from me
Leaving me stranded
In the chambers of the sea
Lovely sea-girls wreathed in seaweed
Red and green, aqua and brown
Til another's voice awakens me
And we drown
I have heard the sirens calling loud and glad
And like Ulysses their singing driving me mad
And I wish you never sang for me
Like a cold fish gutted on a plastic plate
Mouth in silent fish-song moving too late
Your love will never sing for me
Your love will never sing for me
No, your love will never sing for me
Again
Based on the T.S. Elliot poem "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
I hear them still as I walk along the beach
I do not think they'll sing for me
I hear their singing like I once heard you
Their voices elusive, soft, melodious and true
But I do not think you'll sing for me
No, I do not think you'll sing for me
Again
Like them I see you riding seaward
On the waves away from me
Leaving me stranded
In the chambers of the sea
Lovely sea-girls wreathed in seaweed
Red and green, aqua and brown
Til another's voice awakens me
And we drown
I have heard the sirens calling loud and glad
And like Ulysses their singing driving me mad
And I wish you never sang for me
Like a cold fish gutted on a plastic plate
Mouth in silent fish-song moving too late
Your love will never sing for me
Your love will never sing for me
No, your love will never sing for me
Again
Based on the T.S. Elliot poem "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
