And Also The Trees - Mermen of the Lea lyrics

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.
