|
We went down to the edge of the water |
|
You were afraid to go in |
|
You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean |
|
And I said I'm only going for a swim |
|
I was swimming around in a circle |
|
I wasn't always in view |
|
You said we might get into red flag danger |
|
And I am alone when I'm not with you |
|
But I am no mermaid |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
And I am no fisherman's slave |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
I keep my head above the waves |
|
We were swinging from the centre of the ceiling |
|
You were afraid to give in |
|
I said I know I'll always live for this feeling |
|
And you closed your eyes you said never again |
|
We were dancing in the middle of the desert |
|
You said we'll burn under the hot sun |
|
I said I'd rather be the colour of pleasure |
|
Than watch like you from under the thumb |
|
But I am no mermaid |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
And I am no fisherman's slave |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
I keep my head above the waves |
|
We went down to the edge of the water |
|
You were afraid to go in |
|
You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean |
|
And I said I'm only going for a swim |
|
I was living around in a circle |
|
I wasn't always in view |
|
You said we might get into red flag danger |
|
And I am alone when I'm not with you |
|
But I am no mermaid |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
And I am no fisherman's slave |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
I am no mermaid |
|
I keep my head above the wave |
