kate rusby - the mermaid lyrics
[verse 1]
farewell the rolling hills and farewell to the field
farewell, love, my fate tonight is sealed
on the sea, love, on the sea
[verse 2]
high are the daunting waves and bold the wind it blows
but i can see, love, the mermaid and she knows
on the sea, love, on the sea
[chorus]
and peace as the sea it calms
and peace now in her arms
where i’ll be, love, sleeping in the sea
[verse 3]
my father built a bonnie ship and set her on the sea
it was his joy, love, he gave that ship to me
on the sea, love, on the sea
[verse 4]
on oceans high and oceans low we sailed that ship around
we owned the tide, love, for glory we were bound
on the sea, love, on the sea
[chorus]
and peace now, the sea it calms
and peace now in her arms
where i’ll be, love, sleeping in the sea
[instrumental break]
[bridge]
and three times that ship went round and three times round went she
it’s murky deep, love, and far away from thee
on the sea, love, on the sea
[verse 5]
farewell the rolling hills and farewell to the field
farewell, love, my fate tonight is sealed
on the sea, love, on the sea
[chorus]
and peace now, the sea it calms
and peace now in her arms
where i’ll be, love, sleeping in the sea
it’s where i’ll be, love, sleeping in the sea
[outro]
sleeping in the sea
