Lyrics

There?s a carousel in Pittsburg, ?least there was before the war
I saw a picture in a postcard dated 1934
And it?s probably gone to rust now, but all that silver used to shine
Anyway that?s? where I?m going if I ever cut loose in time
Somewhere there?s a mermaid singing oh whoa whoa whoa
I know ?cause I hear it when I?m sinkin? low
There?s and old hotel in Dublin growing heavy in the Irish rain
And it?s strange to think of all the special ways that things will never be the same
And the heart is full of spaces growin? fast and growing deep
Well I dreamed I had a daughter, I was singing her to sleep
Somewhere there?s a mermaid singing oh whoa whoa whoa
I know ?cause I hear it when I?m sinkin? low
Well I heard that you got married and that all your dreams came true
Well it?s midnight here in Texas and I?m happy for you
Somewhere there?s a mermaid singing oh whoa whoa whoa
I know ?cause I hear it when I?m sinkin??
Somewhere there?s a mermaid singing oh whoa whoa whoa
And I know ?cause I hear it when I?m sinkin? low
