lyrics

Mermaid

i was fishing in the twilight down by the sea
when a mermaid surfaced and she spoke to me
what are you seeking what can you give
i was once a human too we don’t get long to live

i said i know nothing but just listen and express
sometimes in impatience at best with tenderness
she said will you listen to me no one did before
once i was a simple girl who lived along this shore

sun and moon both shone in the sky
i watched a lone bird fly

she lay in the shallows and she smiled so sad
then i started weeping the most i ever had
i can feel you feeling me she said and thank you so
that was all i needed now i have to go

sun and moon both shone in the sky
i watched a lone bird fly

please wait i have questions for you but she swam away
i went back to fishing like i did each day
that night for the first time since my old world burst apart
i felt curtains rising from my ruined heart

sun and moon both shone in the sky
i watched a lone bird fly
i watched a lone bird fly
