DISCLAIMER: I don't own the first verse, but I own the rest.
This thing is really dumb (I wrote it like three or four years ago), but I found it on my computer and thought, Hey, what the heck. It's so gay, I don't really expect anyone to read it or like it, but, as I said, what the heck.
Oh, liquid temptress 'neath the azure sky
Your gilded expanse calls me, calls me.
For I would sail ever on
Were it not for the elven maid
Who calls me, calls me.
She binds my heart with a lily-white tie,
Never to be broken, save by the sea,
Ever to be torn twixt the trees and the waves.
Oh, water siren 'neath the azure sky.
Your waves, how they befall me, fall me.
For I would live a peaceful life
Were it not for the elven maid
Who befalls me, falls me.
Her black curly tresses blow with the wind,
Like the waves that crash on the sandy shore,
They remind me of her, she reminds me of them.
Oh, elven maid, with foreseeing eyes.
The familiar blue-green gladdens me, gladdens me.
For I would stay ever with you
Were it not for the blue-green sea
That saddens me, saddens me.
It wants me to sail across the sea,
To the waving waters, the gilded expanse,
I go 'gainst my will, I shall see you again.
Oh, elven maid, with foreseeing eyes.
How I wish I could see her, evermore, evermore.
For I would stay ever with you
Were it not for the raging sea
Which I love nevermore, nevermore.
How I wish to be back home again,
Where the leaves blow with her hair on the wind,
I'll never see that maiden again.
Oh, elven maid, with foreseeing eyes.
I will see you nevermore, nevermore.
For I will be here waiting for you,
I will wait evermore, evermore.
For even though I have died at sea,
With the raging wind and wild waters,
Once more your eyes will gaze deep into mine.
I will see you nevermore.
Nevermore
The winds, the waves,
My tears of rage
The elven maid with foreseeing eyes
Your black curly tresses I never deny
Beauty beyond compare
My elven maid with foreseeing eyes
