"Mermaid Shanty" is a music video from Toadstool Shadow's 2021 short film, "Folk Songs of the American Wood Elf." In it, Bunny is 19. He has deliberately gone back under the toadstool and revisited the visionary "Rainbow Nights" landscape of his youth. This time, he has brought a camera to document what he sees. Here, he discovers a strange land of mermaids on the other side of an Ohio road bridge.
This tune is on the "Folk Songs of the American Wood Elf" soundtrack, Toadstool Shadow second album. It's available for download and streaming everywhere. CDs are available at our own website, www.toadstoolshadow.com.

Lyrics:
"While the mermaid swims, she does dance within the diamond water
Soon she spreads her fins, moving just like Mother Nature’s daughter
Underneath the waves, lurking, hides a world of secret wonder
In her jeweled caves, singing sea songs like aquatic thunder
99 leagues below the sea
99 leagues, where she must be
99 leagues below the sea
99 leagues, mermaid shanty
She can see your feet, as you wade into her em’rald queendom
Longs she for sun’s heat, only true love’s kiss can win her freedom
99 leagues below the sea
99 leagues, where she must be
99 leagues below the sea
99 leagues, mermaid shanty"
