Out on the ocean babe
Moon has her way with you
Moon toss and turn with you
Hey - you sailor mean
I’m not your mermaid
I got no sea legs
But I’ll be your lady when you’re
Anchored in the bay
It ain’t so easy
When my heart goes out to sea
And leaves me hollowed on the shore
You pick my heart just like you
Pick my pocket when we're
Speaking easy
Shivers and a glass of cheer
And then we’re blinded
Pigs in the blanket
Yummy yummy 'til the
Tide pulls you back out with moon
It ain’t so easy
When my heart goes out to sea
And leaves me hollowed on the shore
Bridge break
5 5 6m 6m
5 5 6m 5 5
Blue as the ocean babe
Your heart has sailed away
Well sail on back to me
Hey - you sailor mean
I’m not your mermaid
I got no sea legs
But I’ll be your lady when you’re
Anchored in the bay
It ain’t so easy
When my heart goes out to sea
And leaves me hollowed on the shore
Not so easy
When my heart goes out to sea
And leaves me hollowed on the shore
Ooohhh
ooohhh
