Mermaid Blues

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 ...
