lyrics

she looks out to sea, chains clinking in the breeze
then walks along the waterfront, moonlight through the trees
i’m on the jetty saying “lord, help me please”
ding a ling, the first time i saw her hips i fell into the sea

take a look at this town, i don’t see anything
shutters, a broken drain, a second storey doorbell rings
ocean fog just keeps on rolling in
ding a ling, i stepped straight through the door & fell into the sea

mermaid vagabond, both her arms on both her lips
it’s all or nothing, she don’t believe in ships
i’ve been walking, seems like eternity
ding a ling, six days, on the seventh i fell into the sea

how can i describe her look so near to me?
her eyelids, bottom lip slip away like gasoline
rainbows i’ve seen across puddles in the street
ding a ling, no one saw my face again, i fell into the sea
