Big Thief - Mermaid
Before we lose our minds
Only a matter of days left
Only ❲?❳
You make them feel so small
When you’re holding I seem to call
Just reaching for her hand
Only a matter of aches
Before the body breaks
Only a matter of timing
Only a matter of wasting for me
❲?❳
When you’re holding I seem to call
Just reaching for her hand
❲?❳
'Cause just today I smiled
And I saw the number of letters
From the debt collectors I left
❲?❳
Don't they know that I, I've seen it all
Just reaching for her hand
The mermaids gather around
In the blood of New York Island
It's only matter of timing, before
Before this land and your land, before
Before this land is my land, before
Before this land is her land, you know
That she's gonna gather a song
Give me guilt with nowhere to call
Just reaching for her hand
