A shark came by today
I kept that shark at bay
Optic nerve gone astray
Leaving us gyroscopic
In a confused confounding sea
I gripped his arm and he held onto me
I carry with me your care
Bejewelled broken comb
Caught in mermaid tangled hair
In darkest days your care outweighs
I carry with me your care
Waves breaking over our bed
Head weighs heavy as lead
Shrieking bird above my head
In a darkened sea
Our island is submerged
In the tide race
I gripped his arm and he held my face
Mermaid lost her comb
Gagging on sea foam
A thatch of debris
Fish hooks served up for my tea
A shadow creeps on darkened sea
And still he keeps his grip on me
I kept that shark at bay
Optic nerve gone astray
Leaving us gyroscopic
In a confused confounding sea
I gripped his arm and he held onto me
I carry with me your care
Bejewelled broken comb
Caught in mermaid tangled hair
In darkest days your care outweighs
I carry with me your care
Waves breaking over our bed
Head weighs heavy as lead
Shrieking bird above my head
In a darkened sea
Our island is submerged
In the tide race
I gripped his arm and he held my face
Mermaid lost her comb
Gagging on sea foam
A thatch of debris
Fish hooks served up for my tea
A shadow creeps on darkened sea
And still he keeps his grip on me
