"Turn Loose The Mermaids" lyrics

Turn Loose The Mermaids

A kite above a graveyeard grey
At the end of the line far far away
A child holding on
To the magic of birth and awe

Oh, how beautiful it used to be
Just you and me far beyond the sea
The waters, scarce in motion
Quivering still

At the end of the river
The sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller
Rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes

Good journey, love
Time to go
I checked your teeth
And warmed your toes
In the horizon
I see them coming for you

The mermaid grace
The forever call
Beauty in spyglass
On an old man's porch
The mermaids you turn loose
Brought back your tears

At the end of the river
The sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller
Rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes

At the end of the river
The sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller
Rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes

At the end of the river
The sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller
Rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes

At the end of the river
The sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveller
Rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
