At the window facing seaward
Stands the princess, young and fair,
And the sea floor, and the sea floor
Steals her face and her blonde hair.
And a fisherman who's sailing
Looks amazed in the blue space
And the sea floor, and the sea floor
Now reveals a pretty face.
“I have never watched the castle
Yet, my eyes now start to weep
And the sea floor, and the sea floor
Pulls me under, pulls me deep”
