Mermaid - Train

Mermaid - Train Lyrics

[Into]
Whoa, whoa

[Verse 1]
Can’t swim so I took a boat
To an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
Stayed there 'til the air was clear
I was bored and out of tears
Then I saw you washed up on the shore
I offered you my coat
Thank goddess love can float
Crazy how that shipwreck meant my ship was coming in
We talked 'til the sun went down
Love on the Puget Sound
My treasure map was on your skin

[Chorus]
Beauty in the water
Angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter
I thought love was out of reach
Until I got her
Had I known it could come true?
I would have wished in ’92
For a mermaid just like you, whoa
Just like you, whoa
[Verse 2]
Sharks green with envy, they wonder what you see in me
Funny but sometimes can’t help but wonder that as well
Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid
The way to this heavenly bay it went through hell

[Chorus]
Beauty in the water
Angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter
I thought love was out of reach
Until I got her
Had I known it could come true?
I would have wished in ’92
For a mermaid just like you, whoa
Just like you, whoa

[Bridge]
Rescued you by the banyan tree
All the girlfish in the sea
Couldn't hold a candle to you
They don’t have a handle on you
They don’t have a scandal on you
I love Ecco sandals on you
Saving me was b-i-g
All the boyfish in the sea
They all wish that they could be me
Can’t swim so I took a boat
To an island so remote
Only Johnny Depp has ever been to it before
[Chorus]
Beauty in the water
Angel on the beach
Ocean’s daughter
I thought love was out of reach
Until I got her
Had I known it could come true?
I would have wished in ’92
For a mermaid just like you, whoa
Just like you, whoa

[Outro]
Just like you, whoa
Just like you, whoa3
