Patti Smith - The Mermaid

Do you remember me

The ocean rolled

Time was slow

We felt an energy

The cock was crowing

The rum was flowing

A mermaid burns to sea

Beyond the sea

And if I could

Turn where you stood

Would you feel me

Would it be good

Would you remember

So turn the little key

The ocean rolls

Time is slow

Turn the little key

The cock is crowing

The rum is flowing

A mermaid burns to sea

Beyond the sea

I long to see

I long to see

If there’s a page for me

A page for me

in your diary

Do you remember me

The ocean rolled

Time was slow

We felt an energy

The cock was crowing

The rum was flowing

A mermaid burns to sea

Beyond the sea

I long to see I long to see

If there a page for me

A page for me

in your diary
