The Captain and the Mermaid

All the boys and the girls
from "Bittersweet Street"!
Northeast!

Once, a ship out in the open sea
sank in a fierce storm.
A beautiful mermaid saved the Captain
and brought him back to the shore.
And the Captain fell in love with her,
and though she loved him too, the Mermaid,
they came from different worlds,
and their love would be a curse.
What to do? What to do when love brings us pain?
What to do? What to do?
Find your star, follow your star,
find a star, follow a star!

The lovers tried to use reason
to solve their dilemma,
and no matter how much they gave their hearts,
they couldn't fix their problem.
- "I can't breathe on land, my love" -
the Mermaid said with pain.
- "I can't breathe under the sea" -
the sailor replied, feeling sorrow.
What to do? What to do when love condemns us?
And when you walk down that "Bittersweet Street,"
look for your star, follow your star,
look for your star, follow your star,
look for your star, follow your star.
