8. In A Cave (2:50)
A light-hearted song, inspired by a children TV programme about life under the sea. As
usual I turn it into a seduction story about a mermaid.

In A Cave
In a cave, In a cave
In a cave at the bottom of the sea
Where my true love sits in harmony
In a cave at the bottom of the sea
Standing on a beach, the safety in my reach
I look deep into the surf and the spray
There deep in the sea (she’s looking out at me)
Was a beautiful mermaid
Naked as the day that Neptune made her say
She’d give herself up to me
Wondering quite why, I cast my luck aside
And dive into the empty sea
Into a cave, Into a cave
Into a cave at the bottom of the sea
Where my true love sits in harmony
In a cave at the bottom of the sea
Running through the sand and guided by her hand
I scamper deep into the waves.
How she made me laugh! The freedom was a half
Of the total that she gave.
In the water’s hold I gave away my soul
To the loving nymph of mine.
Diving to the depths we passed the lower steps
Where the natural sun does shine.
Into a cave, Into a cave
Into a cave at the bottom of the sea
Where my true love sits in harmony
In a cave at the bottom of the sea
Lying back I smiled at memories awhile
As she slept upon the rocks below
Her beauty was so fair, the soft and flowing hair
Streamed out into the water flow
I cast away my life for the feelings of a night
And fell into a hopeless love
Now she had me here I knew I’d never leave
To return into my place above
Into a cave, Into a cave
Into a cave at the bottom of the sea
Where my true love sits in harmony
In a cave at the bottom of the sea
Into a cave, Into a cave
Into a cave at the bottom of the sea
Where my true love sits in harmony
In a cave at the bottom, in a cave at the bottom, in a cave at the bottom of the sea
