Mermaid's Kiss

(альбом: First Night Back In Port - 2017)

I've longed so for this moment, ever since you left
I've toiled the field on my hands and knees
And awaited your return

Listen now my darling
I wish that I could stay
But I'm off with me ship
Were meant to fight the Britts
And their fleet at shipwreck bay

Spare me but one moment
Surely there be time
We should drink and eat
And you must want to me the son
That's yours and mine

The touch of me warm sweet lips
Made widowers before
Yer not the first to find themselves a nurse
As I head for distant shore

I've longed so for this moment, ever since I left
I've toiled the field on my hands and knees
And awaited my return

Listen now my darling
I wish that I could stay
But I'm off with me ship
Were meant to fight the Britts
And their fleet at shipwreck bay

Curse your thirst for freedom
Your loath for honest work
Won't you settle down in our quiet down
I'm begging you don't go

Hush now my dear lover
A bed be not for tears
Your sobs won't pay for my nightly stay
Now I should be on my way
