Dune Mand
A song about the unfulfilled love of a fisherman and a mermaid
Verse 1
The ocean was wild, the ocean was grayThe wind blew strong through his hair
The drizzling rain soaked his cloak
the white wave combs foam like soap
Chorus
Dune mand, hm-m-m-mDune mand, oh-ho-oh-oh
Dune mand, n-n-n
Dune mand, dune mand, dune mand
Verse 2
He once went to sea to catch some fishAnd the mermaid he caught gave him one wish
He said: "I love you, come home with me"
And she couldn't refuse, although she wanted to be free
Verse 3
Oh, and the time it passed by their doorAnd he was happier than ever before
But day after day, she lost a scale
Her skin became thin, cracked and pale
Chorus
Dune mand, hm-m-m-mDune mand, oh-ho-oh-oh
Dune mand, n-n-n
Dune mand, dune mand, dune mand
Verse 4
He saw how she struggled to surviveAnd he knew that she needed the sea to thrive
So they broke the spell that put her in chains
After one last kiss he saw her never again
Chorus
Dune mand, hm-m-m-mDune mand, oh-ho-oh-oh
Dune mand, n-n-n
Dune mand, dune mand, dune mand
Chorus 2
I'm waiting for you, are you waiting for meI'm waiting for you, are you waiting for me
I'm waiting for you, uu
I'm waiting for you, are you waiting for me
Verse 5
And the folks tell a tale of love and faithOf a ghost in the dunes for his mermaid he waits
When the ocean is wild, when the ocean is grey
Then you can hear the wind howl through his hair
Chorus
Dune mand, hm-m-m-mDune mand, oh-ho-oh-oh
Dune mand, n-n-n
Dune mand, dune mand, dune mand
Chorus 2
I'm waiting for you, are you waiting for meI'm waiting for you, are you waiting for me
I'm waiting for you, uu
I'm waiting for you, are you waiting for me
Chorus
Dune mand, hm-m-m-mDune mand, oh-ho-oh-oh
Dune mand, n-n-n
Dune mand, dune mand, dune mand
