Shaye - No Mermaid lyrics

rate me

We went down to the edge of the water<br />

You were afraid to go in<br />

You said there might be sharks out there in the ocean<br />

And I said I'm only going for a swim<br />

I was swimming around in a circle<br />

I wasn't always in view<br />

You said we might get into red flag danger<br />

And I am alone when I'm not with you<br />

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid<br />

And I am no fisherman's slave<br />

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid<br />

I keep my head above the waves<br />

I was swinging from the centre of the ceiling<br />

You were afraid to give in<br />

I said I know I'll always live for this feeling<br />

And you closed your eyes and said never again<br />

I was dancing in the middle of the desert<br />

You said we'd burn under the hot sun<br />

I said I'd rather be the colour of pleasure<br />

Than watch like you from under the thumb<br />

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid<br />

And I am no fisherman's slave<br />

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid<br />

I keep my head above the waves
