Mermaid - Inspiral Carpets

Mermaid comes up smiling with a grin that’s big and wide

She’s been swimming and a-swirling in the lace that she’s been wearing and she’s

Skipping and a-twirling, spinning in his dreams

Like a shell twists round in spirals

When the tide leaves, when the tide leaves

And the man who almost caught her will search through every ocean

But you can bet there’s a hole in his net

That’s the reason why he’ll never catch her

Skipping and a-twirling, spinning in his dreams

Like a shell twists round in spirals

When the tide leaves, when the tide leaves

For every grain of sand that gets washed up on the land

There’s another mermaid smiling and another searching fisherman

Skipping and a-twirling, spinning in his dreams

Like a shell twists round in spirals

When the tide leaves, when the tide leaves
