Lyrics
Written by Lorraine Jordan ©
She wakes before the rising of the sun
And just after morning prayer is done
She slips away down to the sheltered bay
She's feeling the call is strong today
She's hearing
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
She's casting her eye upon the waves
Seeing some old familiar shapes
And then as the morning light it breaks
A smile it is growing on her face
She’s hears the mermaids sing
Just as the church bells ring
She is lifted on angels wings
As they dance her around the fairy ring
Hearing heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
She’s making her way back down the path
Gathering flowers for the mass
Bowing her head in grateful thanks
She’s praying herself into a trance
She’s kneeling on the cold stone floor
Singing glory to the risen lord
As she prays forgiveness for her sins
She swears she saw the virgin mother grin
She’s hears the mermaids sing
Just as the church bells ring
She is lifted on angels wings
As they dance her around the fairy ring
Hearing heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
I wanna hear the mermaids sing
Just as the church bells ring
Wanna be lifted on angels wings
As they dance me around the fairy ring
Hearing heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
Heavenly voices
