|
Across the sand, the stones and the shells |
|
I went down to the sea |
|
And the golden haired ballerina came down |
|
And swam along with me |
|
We were strangers out in the ocean |
|
Somehow shyness stayed ashore |
|
And I watched the ballerina |
|
Dive and dance down to the floor |
|
Ballerina, ballerina |
|
Water ballerina |
|
As the sun went down on the ocean |
|
And the night our time did steal |
|
We swam on in salty heaven |
|
It was too good to be real |
|
So I left her a silver dolphin |
|
In a place where she could see |
|
So that one day out at her swimming |
|
She might remember me |
|
Ballerina, ballerina |
|
Water ballerina |
|
Water ballerina with such golden curly hair |
|
She is gone now, like the summer |
|
To a beach in God knows where |
