Sforzando - Mermaids lyrics

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.
