The Mermaid Song Lyrics by Patti Smith

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 was crowing, the rum was flowing,
a mermaid burns to sea. beyond the sea I long to see,
I long to see if there´s a page for me.
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´s a page for me,
if there´s a page for me in your diary.
