Ron Sexsmith
Chateau Mermaid
[Verse 1]
Welcome to Chateau Mermaid
Where your day’s unhurried
Nor shadowed by a cloud of worry
Where the wine it flows all day
Shake off your sad old workplace
Come sit by the fireplace
Unravel in a shroud of Mary Jane
Till unkindness melts away
At Chateau Mermaid
[Chorus]
Rest your weary bones
Come dry your teary eyes
For your heart is nearly home
And your home it surely lies
In Chateau Mermaid
[Verse 2]
All come to Chateau Mermaid
The parade’s going your way
There’s a candle glowing in the foyer
Where the music plays all night
I’m the king of all that I survey
The smoke tree, the driveway
Our guests have travelled such a long way
And we’re seduced by their headlights
At Chateau Mermaid
[Chorus]
Dab your teary eyes
Come rest your weary bones
For it’s here your future lies
And your soul is nearly home
In Chateau Mermaid
Chateau Mermaid
