Boy went out on a boat tonight Waiting on his lover Seen his mermaid bright in the moonlight In the arms of another She said "standing on the water is easier to do Than to try and be a family living here with you" And the more I've been thinking The more I know You know I'm living alone
Now they see him out on the water waves Rolling on the foam Only memories for a future Only ocean for a home 'Cause Amelia's the name that she calls herself these days And "birds! birds!" is all we heard before she flew away And the more I've been thinking The more I know You know I'm living alone
