Elysian Fields - Mermaid lyrics

Remember how you found me

Under a low bent half moon

I must have been singing for you

I'd never left the water

Though I once knew some flying fish

Thought I'd forget how to swim

I am your mermaid

I give to you freely

But soon as you see me I'm gonegone

I am your mermaid

Tangled but blissful

Knock me a kissful of nectarhoney

The water is hot

And you hold my head

As sores of the day slip through the shore's threads

I'd never felt such rapture

A glimpse at the lighthouse

Undo myself from your hanging mouth

I am your mermaid

Tangled but blissful

Knock me a kissful of nectarhoney

I am your mermaid

I opened your mortal need

You planted your opal seed of lovelove

I am your mermaid

I am your mermaid

I am your mermaid
