Apathy - Mermaid Music lyrics
[Apathy - Mermaid Music lyrics]
"come wander with me, love
Come wander with me away from this sad world
Come wander with me"
I fell in love with a mermaid
Met her on the floor of the sea
About seven miles south, of the Florida Keys
She'd visit me every night
When the rays of the moonlight
Cut through the dark of the ocean
Which allowed her to see
Where the seaweed sway and wooden ships decay
You'll lose track of thе days
In these underwatеr graves
She was puzzled that my appearance
Would be bright blue
And then I glowed and up close
You could see right through
I was shackled to the ship, a spirit of a man
Who'd give all the gold on the
Ocean floor to hold her hand
She'd read to me
Books that I'd long forgotten
Sometimes half of the story if
The pages were rotten
I would tell her every tale
Every whale that we caught
About the men who'd died against
The monster they fought
She stared at me wide-eyed
Clearly distraught
Realizing that man was way
Worse than she thought
From moonlight to sun, sunlight to moon
She'd blow me a kiss and said
"I'll be back soon"
Sharks passed me by, ships passed above
Waved crashed to shore, bring back my love
The summertime shed her skin
Winter was settin' in
Time kept passin' but I
Couldn't forget a thing
I'd scream out! Her name in vain!
I was going insane
And couldn't shatter the chains!
"come wander with me, love
Come wander with me away from this sad world
Come wander with me"
Come wander with me away from this sad world
Come wander with me"
I fell in love with a mermaid
Met her on the floor of the sea
About seven miles south, of the Florida Keys
She'd visit me every night
When the rays of the moonlight
Cut through the dark of the ocean
Which allowed her to see
Where the seaweed sway and wooden ships decay
You'll lose track of thе days
In these underwatеr graves
She was puzzled that my appearance
Would be bright blue
And then I glowed and up close
You could see right through
I was shackled to the ship, a spirit of a man
Who'd give all the gold on the
Ocean floor to hold her hand
She'd read to me
Books that I'd long forgotten
Sometimes half of the story if
The pages were rotten
I would tell her every tale
Every whale that we caught
About the men who'd died against
The monster they fought
She stared at me wide-eyed
Clearly distraught
Realizing that man was way
Worse than she thought
From moonlight to sun, sunlight to moon
She'd blow me a kiss and said

Waved crashed to shore, bring back my love

And couldn't shatter the chains!
"come wander with me, love
Come wander with me away from this sad world
Come wander with me"
