Lyrics

MERMAID


My lady she’s a mermaiden a true chimera
Some say a myth from the depth of the sea
Made it to the peer, awful yelling
Deafening screaming and women crying

I was there almost in time
Oh, brothers in arms. Poor brothers of mine

With a bottle of rum in my hand, wait on my friend
While the wind proclaims the message of the sea
Telling us that we’ll never see them again
And that my lady is going to take me down as well

So, I kiss my siren hello and she takes me down, down home…

This is why I sing no seafaring songs for my baby
I don’t want to drown
This is why I sing no seafaring songs for my baby
I don’t want to drown, drown

Down, here in the abyss, the place where she took me to with a kiss
She promised me there’ll be nothing that I would miss
Oh, black smokers and glowing fish
What they rule, they call the shots so cruel

Now I’m falling in, I feel like a fool
As I asked her to bring me back to land
She laughed at me and drug me deeper
Holding me by my pale dead hand
