"Girl From The Sea" lyrics

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
Mmm...

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
Mmm...

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
