We're Going Sailin
Karan Casey
We're going sailing out on the silver sea
Air is full of treasure, you and me
All along the shore you can hear the mermaids singing
No one will believe us, no one will believe us
Below on the strand, the sea is answering the land
No one will believe us
We're going sailing for three nights and three days
One thousand islands in Roaring Water Bay
There on the hill the good people are living still
No one will believe us, no one will believe us
We wake in the dawn in the shadow of the thorn
No one will believe us
How high is the mountain? How deep is the sea?
How wide is the ocean between you and me?
Underneath the waves, dolphins play the same games
No one will believe us, no one will believe us
We wake in the dawn in the shadow of the thorn
No one will believe us
Where did we get the money? How did we live so long?
Out on the ocean and singing this song
All along the shore you can hear the mermaids singing
No one will believe us, no one will believe us
Below on the strand, the sea is answering the land
No one will believe us
We're going sailing out on the silver sea
Air is full of treasure, you and me
