	A beautifully eerie song with a tale of the seductive attraction a mermaid had on a man.
	CD: A Mermaid's Tale...   Label: Independent Credits: Music by Eric Lamb & Ray Leonard / Story written & told by Christina Tilly
	Story Behind the Song This is one of the first of a collection of Stories & Poetry told by San Diego author & artist, Christina Tilly. I decided to collaborate using my music as a background to several of her many tales about the mysterious Mermaids. The entire collection will be available on CD soon. If you would like to hear an instrumental version of this, listen to 'Beneath the Wave'. Lyrics He wakes before dawn at the shore of an exhausting dream. Hungry for her touch. Aching for her lips. He had been lying on a small rock island, surrounded by angry waves and dark, cold depths when she came to him. She was cold and wet. Her hair tangled like sea vines and her hot breath made him writhe with pleasure. Her full mouth devoured him and as he closed his eyes, he awoke. Tangled in his sheets, staring at the stained ceiling and squinting in the early morning glare. Out his window, across the horizon, clouds clung to a dark, blue sea. Suddenly, the day didn't matter. Nothing mattered but her...he wanted her. Whether or not she existed on this earth wasn't a question. He needed her. Lonely...Aching...Hungry...Empty without her. He opened the front door and walked across the marsh without stopping. Across the sand...Across the rocks... His naked body stood on a blustering shore. He called out to her...the woman without a name. He walked into the sea. Icy water swallowing his body while the salt bore into his lungs.
