Lyrics
Mermaid Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ice has formed
And there's snow between the tracks
And I have seen the surface tear and
I can't look back
And cool low sun
Has blinded you for days
From horizon to horizon
Can I dream this all away
But over the water
Over the water
Over the sea
There's you shining bright
In a sea of fools
Oh I can sing you out of this
Can shake your mermaids blues
Come with me
For alone I fear the tide
It's calling me and dragging me
And I think it's time
But over the water
Over the water
Over the water
Over the sea
Shape your mouth
To fit these words of war
I see the arrows falling backwards
Burning for a cause
I'll swim with you
Until my lungs give out
Oh I can raise you from the deep
Or drown with you in doubt
But over the water
Over the water
Over the water with you
With you, with you
