A friend played me the Luka Bloom version of this track and I had to have a go at it!! It's an irish folk track originally done by "The Waterboys" and "Luka Bloom" I thought I'd try to give it a reggae dub twist.

On a day of days I stood and gazed Over the western sea Startled and struck, Frightened to look When a mermaid called to me Ooh-wah Ooh-wah Ooh-wah Ooh-wah My sunny sailor boy Like a man in a dream, For an age it seemed I stood as still as a stone While the mermaid sang And her melody rang Like a memory calling me home Then the sea and the wind And the shores did spin Though my resistance was strong All the stars in space Filled the mermaid's face She captured my will with her song Somehow I spoke, The enchantment broke I rubbed my eyes open wide Like a dream she was gone What remained was a song Borne on the ebbing tide Ooh-wah Ooh-wah Ooh-wah Ooh-wah My sunny sailor boy x
