Текст песни Mermaids

A song for your sorrow
a song for your ship
Songs for you to sing
A lovely little tune to
take with you to Hell
That's what the mermaids bring
A stroke across your brow,
a kiss upon your cheek
A tender motioning.
A bosom for the eyes,
a bosom for the soul
That's what the mermaids bring
& this is what the mermaids sing...
Comfort in their arms,
magic in their eyes
They whisper things to you
A dream world into
which you drown
that's what the mermaids
bring & this is what
the mermaids sing...
For when the merchants sing
& the chapel bells ring
The sailors take to the sea to sail away
But when the ship's gone down & the crew's all drowned
the creatures of the sea come to play.
A bottle of brandy & a pitcher of wine,
A cup of kisses as well. You can drink to their health
with a nipple in your mouth as you descend to Hell.
