Mermaid Song - Ezio

She loves to drive east in the evening when the sun is all golden and low

When nobody knows she’s arriving and there’s nobody waiting at home

She told that she still has a lover but he’s away for a year at a time

And if I wanted to I could go see her but she told me she’d never be mine

She said that she loves to go dancing but she’d rather go dancing alone

She said that there’s no point in dancing with someone that you already know

Then she asked me if she met a stranger would I share her for only an hour

She said don’t worry boy there’s no danger I get amnesia straight after a shower

And I know that you do what you say

And what you want while you’re away

I just wish you wouldn’t look at me that way

For so long, so long

She said don’t wait for me in the darkness I can find my way home if it’s clear

By observing the stars and their movements and by holding a shell to my ear

She said boy you’d better find yourself somewhere new to go after your days

work is done

Because me I love to drive east in the evening I can’t wait for the night time

to come

I love to drive east in the evening you know it makes me feel so alive

I can’t wait for his sweet return and for the night time to arrive

And I know that you do what you say

And what you want while you’re away

I just wish you wouldn’t look at me that way

For so long, so long, so long
