out on the ocean
a lonely fisherman cries
he's unable to find true love
no matter how hard he tries .
so many failures
in his life there have been
to neptune he's praying
please find me a queen .
suddenly from the blue sea
a voice can be heard
i'll find you your true love
but you must give me your word .
you must tell her often
just how much she means
to a heart full of romance
and forever dreams .
i give you my promise
he heard the fisherman say
and neptune carried his boat onward
to meet his true love halfway .
this is the spot
but you must not forget
to catch your true love
you must cast your net .
heaving and toiling
he watched the net rise
until the sight of his true love
now greeted his eyes .
a beautiful mermaid
reached out for his hand
her tail disappearing
just as they reached land .
they settled together
in a villa by the sea
to share forever
their romantic fantasy .
