^C#mBreathe l^A5ife to the st^Ereet from your m^Bouth Those r^Auby red l^Eips have m^Buch to give

Pull ^C#mlife from the l^A5and with your c^Eapable h^Bands Those l^Aife loving b^Eeautiful br^Boken hands

O I?ll st^Aand with you and m^Earvel At the co^C#msmos pink and br^Aight

All the p^Aages flipping ba^Eckwards ?til ^C#mtime is gone and w^Arong is right

Ri^Avers running up the hills into the sky And down to the ^C#msea ^A

Where a merman with a twinkle

Cast a h^C#mook in me

^C#mSing me a ^A5salty blue s^Eong I?ll be g^Bone With w^Aatery ch^Eeeks down fl^Bowered lanes

Tattered s^C#mails, as a r^A5amshackle s^Ehip I?ll go p^Bale Staring str^Aaight in the f^Eace, looming te^Bmpest waves

Otherw^Aise I?ll wither, d^Eie here On this r^C#meach of rubble r^Aambling

With two e^Aars filled up with s^Eand, dear And a br^C#moken gaze I?ll be sc^Arambling

Like ri^Avers running up the hills into the sky And down to the ^C#msea ^A

Where a merman with a twinkle cast a hook in me ^C#m

Summer ^C#msky falling ^A5into the s^Eea taking p^Bart of me See the b^Aones on the ^Esand in the ^Blight

All the h^C#merds of the s^A5ea rushing ^Eby pay no m^Bind To the da^Ancing refl^Eections gone w^Bild

And at ni^Aght a fractured st^Ear fell And pi^C#merced right through the t^Ahick of me

I cried ^Aout in pain and j^Eoy, ?Yes, I?m not ^C#mdead, not numb, not w^Aithering.?

Like a fallen leaf ^Awho keeps her green I?m turning bright in the^C#m sea ^A

Where a merman with a twinkle casts a h^C#mook in me.
