Mermaid (美人鱼) - Okkervil River[00:00:00]

So I said Men pull her out of the water[00:00:00]

And then lay on hands[00:00:08]

And bind back her flippers and tail[00:00:12]

Until international waters And there we'll feel[00:00:17]

What's human inside of her[00:00:28]

So she's chilly and slick[00:00:40]

On her hips where the scales[00:00:44]

Meet with skin With a sickening[00:00:47]

Flick of her tail circling[00:00:51]

Her gills fill with cold salty water She thrashes[00:00:56]

And twirls her freezing fins fluttering[00:01:03]

But she's pretty I think[00:01:19]

With her hair dark as ink and her belly bone-white[00:01:24]

And her lips of a slight sea-shell pink slightly part[00:01:31]

As she's tonguing the tub's rusty rim[00:01:38]

As the saltwater flows out and in[00:01:43]

All farewells to the land we knew well[00:02:02]

We'd never be touching again[00:02:10]

To the fields where we rambled and ran[00:02:17]

Farewell to our wives and children[00:02:24]

Let's stand on the deck and let's watch[00:02:31]

Them all disappearing[00:02:38]

And the days all float by[00:02:57]

In a daze over waves under sky[00:03:00]

And the weeks slowly leak into years[00:03:06]

The last islands are all left behind as we silently sail[00:03:11]

Until late some dark night a wild wind starts to wail[00:03:20]

And our map blows away[00:03:27]

And our compasses fail[00:03:31]

And it's out on the lost boiling black water[00:03:35]

Where I see her float out[00:03:41]

And she's so thin and so pale I see her rise up[00:03:45]

And she's so fast and so fair My hands meet[00:03:52]

And they press to a point in the air[00:03:57]

But my mouth fills with more panic than prayer[00:04:03]

And my skull fills with more color than care[00:04:09]

And my heart fills with love with too much love to bear[00:04:17]

And I know that I'll stay and that she'll always be there[00:04:23]

My hands sunk in cold sand[00:04:30]

Sea-w**d strung through her hair[00:04:33]
