Water Ballerina

Across the sand, the stones and the shells

I went down to the sea

And the golden haired ballerina came down

And swam along with me

We were strangers out in the ocean

Somehow shyness stayed ashore

And I watched the ballerina

Dive and dance down to the floor

Ballerina, ballerina

Water ballerina

As the sun went down on the ocean

And the night our time did steal

We swam on in salty heaven

It was too good to be real

So I left her a silver dolphin

In a place where she could see

So that one day out at her swimming

She might remember me

Ballerina, ballerina

Water ballerina

Water ballerina with such golden curly hair

She is gone now, like the summer

To a beach in God knows where
