Mermaid Marcelle

Margee Minier Tubbs

This song is also available on Margee Minier's award winning album Pathways.

My treasure chest is open and it’s gleaming inside,
said Mermaid Marcelle with her sapphire eyes.
Diamonds and pearls, rubies and rare jewels, amethyst earrings and crystals that heal.
Silver coins from an old shipwreck, an Egyptian jug carved with hieroglyphics.
An hourglass, a rusty nail, a pocket watch on a chain,
Aladdin’s magic genie lamp shining in the rain.

(chorus)
I see all this and these are my secret treasures, I swim in a world that glimmers and glows,
I see all this and these are my secret treasures, an undersea labyrinth and nobody knows…

*wordless flowing mermaid voice

I play melodic melodies on my Medieval Harp,
said Mermaid Marcelle with her flowing blond hair.
A flicker of light as I pluck my golden strings, the ocean roars and I hear my music sing
Celtic love songs with royal folklore.
My damsel heart dreams of life above the seashore.
Ascending and descending I play chromatic scales,
I’m a ballerina dancing in slippers without a tail.

(chorus)
I play all this, and these are my secret melodies, mellifluous tunes for creatures far & near.
I sing all this, and these are my secret melodies, sweet, soothing harmonies and nobody hears.

*wordless flowing mermaid voice

I swim free in the currents to the rhythm of the tides,
said Mermaid Marcelle with her sapphire eyes.
A world of myths and legends, the secrets of the deep.
My castle’s made of seashells and I dance in coral reefs.
A life with mythical creatures in a Utopian paradise,
I’m elusive, hard to spot, mysterious and precise.
Dreams, stories, images and fanciful adventures,
found a diary with hummingbirds & a scroll with ancient scriptures.

(chorus)
I dream all this and these are my secret fantasies, I swim protected by guardian deities.
I dream all this and these are my secret fantasies, my whimsical worlds and nobody sees.
