Mermaid
October 26th, 1989
I was just thinking about those lonely nights
when I waited for Venus to knock on my door
I didn't believe my eyes under the moonlight
when a mermaid emerged at the shore
My heart beat faster as she laid down by my side
She took control of my body and my mind
I felt her naked body with my bare hands
And kissed her sweet lips as the flood tides
She spoke softly in my ear
words of love that carry tears
She comes out of water once in life
She took my eyes, my heart & didn't set me free
I keep saying to myself she's a dream
But my heart starts missing beat
As my mind begins to sleep
I remember the way she left with tears
She had to leave before sunrise
Or curses will take the light of her eyes
She disappeared in a wave of tears
To leave me with a broken heart in my living years
