Turn Loose The Mermaids
A kite above a graveyeard greyAt the end of the line far far awayA child holding on to the magic of birth and awe
Oh, how beautiful it used to beJust you and me far beyond the seaThe waters, scarce in motionQuivering still
At the end of the river the sundown beamsAll the relics of a life long livedHere, weary traveller rest your wandSleep the journey from your eyes
Good journey, love, time to goI checked your teeth and warmed your toesIn the horizon I see them coming for you
The mermaid's grace, the forever callBeauty in spyglass on an old man's porchThe mermaids you turn loose brought back your tears
