A Mermaid came to me
Siren of great beauty
she swam in waters blue,
And sang her song
Of grave surrender.

So beautiful – a childhood riff
of sadness and deceit
Her silver skein, her glinting fin
Sparkled heaven,
Between us

Fears and tears – ocean waves of tears and laughter chorus
Fears and tears
That’s what it is, twixt love and laughter

Fears and tears, ocean waves of tears and laughter chorus
Fears and tears
The currents of life between us.

You lie here close, your touch
Soft, tender warm
Ride me deeper into the waters of love, making
Love, faking death, I drown.
White horses lift and land me
Beached on a distant shore

Fears and tears – ocean waves of tears and laughter chorus
Fears and tears
That’s what it is, twixt love and laughter

Fears and tears, ocean waves of tears and laughter chorus
Fears and tears
The currents of life between us.
