Maiden Of The Sea

James McShane had but one aim;
To find that, which ignites desire's flame.
If only he knew her name…

Maiden, maiden, of the sea
Come to me, oh come to me.
My heart is full of love for thee.
Maiden, maiden, of the sea.

So he set sail on the seven,
 Upon the month, and well past the hour of eleven.
In search for "that gift from heaven!"

Maiden, maiden, of the sea
Come to me, oh come to me.
My heart is full of love for thee.
Maiden, maiden, of the sea.

With his spyglass he did gaze;
Through the mist and haze,
He saw her tail slowly raise.

Maiden, maiden, of the sea
Come to me, oh come to me.
My heart is full of love for thee.
Maiden, maiden, of the sea.

Then he glimpsed her face so fair;
While she combed her long auburn hair.
In voice strong he did declare…

Maiden, maiden, of the sea
Come to me, oh come to me.
My heart is full of love for thee.
Maiden, maiden, of the sea.

She swam on never to realize,
 As his salty tears stung his eyes.
Unable to hear his cries…

Maiden, maiden, of the sea
Come to me, oh come to me.
My heart is full of love for thee.
Maiden, maiden, of the sea.

As I idle away the hours, thoughts of you spring forth like flowers.
Thoughts I would not dare to be shown, for they are mine and mine alone.
To sit with you face to face, how my mind begins to race.

I am hypnotized, by your ice blue eyes;
With their candle-lit glow that ignites my soul.
To say, "When I hear you speak, it leaves me weak."
Is a comparison most pale, because all words fail.

Your charm and wit are most beguiling, try as I might I can't keep from smiling.
Blushing every time you walk by, not even enough courage to say, "Hi."
There is still so much I could say, but what good would that do anyway.

Thus this shall be, tossed into the sea.
Called forgetfulness, and I wish you both much happiness.
