lyrics:

I dream of you in the flowing winds
I think of you and then I'm back again
Back in the world where I belong
Back where everything still makes sense
I see you in the crashing waves
I can see you in my heart again

I can see you glitter in the moonlight
A mermaid in the gloom
Won't you stay with me
Tonight

I've loved you for a thousand years
I looked for you in the farthest lands
Climbing mountains in the dark wastelands
I walked for years in the hottest sands
I should have known I wouldn't find you there
Because the ocean is where you live

I can see you glitter in the moonlight
A mermaid in the gloom
Won't you stay with me
Tonight

Oh, Tonight
For the rest of my life

I can see you glitter in the moonlight
A mermaid in the gloom
Won't you stay with me
Tonight
