There was once a girl who lived in a lighthouse There was once a girl who lived on the edge of a cliff She watched the waves come crashing in One night in her sleep she heard a voice call That her little home would not last at all Against a wave that would come in from the sea And as she tossed and turned in her bed She didn’t want to leave like the voice said So she decided to build a sandstone wall And as the waves grew higher and higher She tried to shield her home of desire It was buried in the foam Should she have listened to the voices in her head She may not have ended up being stone dead Should she tell herself it's best not to fight With all the beings, the creatures of the watery night As her tender soul found its way free Her broken body came in from the sea And was washed onto a lonely shore Wasn’t long before a sailor found her Beautiful face and fair hair around her He was struck to the heart by cupid’s shaft As he assembled her body on the sand Her rosy cheeks was poseidon’s command And the sailor met her deep blue eye Now all is happy as you probably can tell The girl and sailor were married as well And make a fairytale of this little story She didn’t listen to the voices in her head She didn’t end up being stone dead She didn’t tell herself it's best not to fight But poseidon gave her mercy and all has gone right
