Rivers running up the hills And to the sky and down to the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle Casts a hook in me
Sing me a salty blue song, I'll be gone
With watery cheeks down flowered lanes
Tattered sails on a ramshackle ship I'll go pale
Staring straight in the face Looming tempest waves
Otherwise I'll wither and die here
On this reach of rubble rambling
With two years filled up with sand, dear
In a broken daze I'll be scrambling
Like rivers running up the hills And to the sky and down to the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle Casts a hook in me Wo, ha ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha
Summer sky falling into the sea Taking part of me
See the bones on the sand in the light
All the heards of the sea rushing by Pay no mind
To the dancing reflections gone wild
And at night a fractured star fell
And pierced right through the thick of me
I cried out in pain and joy, yes
I'm not dead, not numb, not withering
Like a falling leaf who keeps her green I'm turning bright in the sea
Where a merman with a twinkle Casts a hook in me
Wo, ha ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha ha
Wo, ha ha ha
