Mermaid

Available on:

The Beast Inside (1991 - DUNG14)

Running Time: 4:28

Mermaid comes up smiling 
with a grin that's big and wide
She's been swimming and a swirling
in the lace that's she's been wearing

And she's skipping and a twirling
Spinning in his dreams
Like a shell twists round in spirals
when the tide leaves
When the tide leaves

And the man who almost caught her
Will search through every ocean
But you can bet there's a hole in his net
That's the reason why he'll never catch her

Skipping and a twirling
Spinning in his dreams
Like a shell twists round in spirals
when the tide leaves
When the tide leaves

For every grain of sand
that gets washed up on the land
There's another mermaid smiling
and another searching fisherman

Skipping and a twirling
Spinning in his dreams
Like a shell twists round in spirals
when the tide leaves
When the tide leaves
