Turn Loose the Mermaids lyrics

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's grace, the forever call

Beauty in spyglass on an old man's porch

The mermaids you turned 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 (x4)
