A View From A Long Beach

Another poem , a tribute to my wonderful Muse , who I was with last night and most of today chatting about this and that. Although I have used the song before , the beautiful “Can’t Get It Out of My Head” from “El Dorado” by the Electric Light Orchestra is perfect for this.

The first eight lines are from the song written by Jeff Lynne

♀

Midnight on the water

I saw the ocean's daughter

Walking on a wave she came

Staring as she called my name

And I can't get it out of my head

No I can't get it out of my head

Now my old world is gone for dead

'Cause I can't get it out of my head

♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀♀

Standing on the long beach , watching the waves

The crash and crash against the shingle shore

But my ocean queen she knows there is more

Her mermaid sisters come, beauty arrayed

♀

Daughters of the water , come together

Sharing their love, arm in arm, hand in hand

Tail to tail , breast to breast, love on the sand

Sunshine in their smiles, Herophile is there

♀

Queen of the ocean , The Mermaids Love her

Loved and Adored , Standing on the Long Beach

It’s time to join them , her mermaid sisters

She enters the foam, her hands will now reach

Join with her mermaids, with them forever

As this sun sets they head for their new sea
