A boy met a girl on a lonely beach
and soon they were holding hands
they fell in love on that lonely beach
and kissed on the silver sand

Until the water was red and the day was done
until the water was red from the setting sun

They returned to the beach whenever they could
and stay until the moon was bright
and once they were swimming where the water was deep
and the white fin came into sight

The shark had struck and disappeared
and left his sweetheart dead
and as he pulled her to the shore
the mooring waves were red

Oh the water was red with what the shark done
Yes the water was red and his love was gone

He looked towards the water and he saw the fin
so he gently put her on the sand
he walked to the water with a tear in his eye
and a gleaming knife in his hand

And the water was red once again
Yes the water was red as he walked toward his sweetheart
with the fin in his hand

And the water was red once again
Yes the water was red
