Turn Loose the Mermaids

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A kite above a graveyard grey At the end of the line far far away A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe [Verse 2] Oh, how beautiful it used to be Just you and me far beyond the sea The waters, scarce in motion Quivering still [Chorus] At the end of the river the sundown beams All the relics of a life long lived Here, weary traveler rest your wand Sleep the journey from your eyes [Verse 3] Good journey, love, time to go I checked your teeth and warmed your toes In the horizon I see them coming for you [Verse 4] The mermaid's grace, the forever call Beauty in spyglass on an old man's porch The mermaids you turn loose brought back your tears [Chorus] At the end of the river the sundown beams All the relics of a life long lived Here, weary traveler rest your wand Sleep the journey from your eyes [Chorus] At the end of the river the sundown beams All the relics of a life long lived Here, weary traveler rest your wand Sleep the journey from your eyes [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] At the end of the river the sundown beams All the relics of a life long lived Here, weary traveler rest your wand Sleep the journey from your eyes [Chorus] At the end of the river the sundown beams All the relics of a life long lived Here, weary traveler rest your wand Sleep the journey from your eyes
