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 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 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
