she looks out to sea
chains clinking in the breeze
then walks along the waterfront
moonlight through the trees
i’m on the jetty saying
“lord, help me please”
ding a ling
the first time i saw her hips
i fell into the sea
take a look at this town
i don’t see anything
shutters, a broken drain
a second storey doorbell rings
ocean fog just
keeps on rolling in
ding a ling
i stepped straight through the door
& fell into the sea
mermaid vagabond
both her arms, both her lips
it’s all or nothing
she don’t believe in ships
i’ve been walking
seems like eternity
ding a ling
six days, on the seventh
i fell into the sea
how can i describe
her look so near to me?
her eyelids, bottom lip
slip away like gasoline
rainbows i’ve seen across
puddles in the street
ding a ling
no one saw my face again
i fell into the sea
