Oh, what a dream
Oh, what a dream
A dream I dreamed layin' in my baby's arms
Layin' in my baby's arms

I was layin' in the sand
I was layin' in the sand
Layin' in the sand where the water meets the land
Where the water meets the land

When I heard a voice a-calling me
When I heard a voice a-calling me
I thought I heard my baby calling me from the deep
Calling me from the deep

So I dove into the tide
So I dove into the tide
Searching for my baby in the shadows deep and wide
In the shadows deep and wide

Oh, what a song I heard
Whoa, what a song
A thousand mermaids singing, boy, you're baby, she's gone
Boy, you're baby, she's gone

In a voice so sweet
In a voice so sweet
In a voice so sweet, the mermaids rocked me to sleep
Yeah, they rocked me to sleep

At the breaking of the dawn
At the breaking of the dawn
I awoke with a tear laying in my baby's arms
Layin' in my baby's arms
Layin' in my baby's arms
Layin' in my baby's arms

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
