We're Going Sailing - 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
