[Verse 1]
Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where
Never mind their questions there's no answer for
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The roll of the harbour wake
The songs that the rigging makes
The taste of the spray he takes and he learns to give
He aches and he learns to live
He stakes all his silver
[Chorus 1]
On a promise to be free
Mermaids live in colonies
All his sea dreams come to me
[Verse 2]
City satins left at home, I will not need them
I believe him when he tells of loving me
Something truthful in the sea, your lies will find you
Leave behind your streets, he said, and come to me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come down from the neon nights
Come down from the tourist sights
Run down 'till the rain delights you
You do not hide, sunlight will renew your pride
Skin white by skin golden
Peridots and periwinkle blue medallions
Gilded galleons spilled across the ocean floor
Treasure somewhere in the sea and he will find where
Never mind their questions there's no answer for
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The roll of the harbour wake
The songs that the rigging makes
The taste of the spray he takes and he learns to give
He aches and he learns to live
He stakes all his silver
[Chorus 1]
On a promise to be free
Mermaids live in colonies
All his sea dreams come to me
[Verse 2]
City satins left at home, I will not need them
I believe him when he tells of loving me
Something truthful in the sea, your lies will find you
Leave behind your streets, he said, and come to me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come down from the neon nights
Come down from the tourist sights
Run down 'till the rain delights you
You do not hide, sunlight will renew your pride
Skin white by skin golden
