Mermaid

Remember how you found me

Under a low bent half moon

I must have been singing to you

I've never left the water

But 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 gone

I am your mermaid

Tangled but blissful

Knock me a kissful of nectar, honey

The water is hot and you hold my head

The 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 nectar, honey

I am your mermaid

I'll open your mortal need

You planted your opal seed of love

I am your mermaid
