Nightwish
Turn Loose the Mermaids
[Verse 1]
A kite above a graveyard grey
At the end of the line far far away
A child holding on to the magic of birth and awe
[Verse 2]
Oh, how beautiful it used to be
Just you and me far beyond the sea
The waters, scarce in motion
Quivering still
[Chorus]
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveler rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
[Verse 3]
Good journey, love, time to go
I checked your teeth and warmed your toes
In the horizon I see them coming for you
[Verse 4]
The mermaid's grace, the forever call
Beauty in spyglass on an old man's porch
The mermaids you turn loose brought back your tears
[Chorus]
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveler rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
[Chorus]
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveler rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveler rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
[Chorus]
At the end of the river the sundown beams
All the relics of a life long lived
Here, weary traveler rest your wand
Sleep the journey from your eyes
