Turn Loose The Mermaids

[Verse]
A#m
A kite above a graveyeard grey
       Fm  
At the end of the

line far far away
  C#                   
  A child holding on to
     G#                  A#m
the magic of birth and awe

[Verse]
A#m
Oh, how beautiful it used to be
     Fm
Just you and me far beyond the sea
    C#                 G#
The waters, scarce in motion
          A#m
Quivering still


[Chorus]
                  F#     
  At the end of the river
     G#       A#m
the sundown beams
C#                   G#        A#m
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F#           C#         
  Here, weary traveller
  G#         A#m
rest your wand
          D#       F#         A#m
Sleep the journey from your eyes

[Verse]
A#m
Good journey, love, time to go
  Fm  
I checked your teeth

and warmed your toes
C#                G#   
  In the horizon I see
                 A#m
them coming for you
A#m  
The mermaid's grace,

the forever call
Fm  
Beauty in spyglads

on an old man's porch
    C#                 G#     
  The mermaids you turn loose
                   A#m
brought back your tears


[Chorus]
                  F#     
  At the end of the river
     G#       A#m
the sundown beams
C#                   G#        A#m
All the relics of a lifelong lived
F#           C#         
  Here, weary traveller
  G#         A#m
rest your wand
          D#       F#         A#m
Sleep the journey from your eyes


[Chorus]

Sleep the journey from your eyes
