Mermen Of The Lea Songtext / Lyric

An owl hoots. The moon

searches from the sky.

pierced with its sister stars.

And the mermen of the lea

Sing their silken song to me

Curling down the dark wind

in green lane.






Calling me back

To the blissed black lonely field seas...

Oh let me swim with you this night alone,

The mermen of the lea

Oh sing your silken song to me.



Far from the lantern swaying

summer dusk, your seaweed breath

Screams brine out of the bay.

Your reaching arms and eyes

Caress and leave the sleeping,

Like horses leap the narrow thistled fields.



Oh mermen of the lea

Sing your silken song to me...

As your far off seas careen the ships,

Oh mermen of the lea

Curling the black winds through the trees.
