ISLAND ANGEL

ISLAND ANGEL

Sometimes when the wind blows
And the foghorn makes its noise
A seagull flies on over
All the girls and boys......
Where an Island Angel
Swimming in the sea
Who used to be a Mermaid
Waits so patiently.

Island Angel was her name
It's said she was a beauty
For when she was alive and well
She made it seem her duty...
To swim and show her body off
For her one and only
When he drowned one dark night
She grew so sad and lonely.

She swam to the outer banks
And it's said she died there
But sometimes when the wind blows
One can see her auburn hair....
Floating by the dockside
Where kids swim in the sea
And I often watch and wonder
Is that Island Angel, me?
