Dolphins and Mermaids (feat. Doug Burtchaell)
The dolphins laugh while I want to cry
I have no tears - My eyes are dry
I sit on the rocks and drink to my health
A lesson learned a heartbreak too late
I know what I feel will never fade away
I'm throwin' shells in Galveston Bay
The shrimp boats sleep tied to the dock
The sun falls down as all alone I walk
I hear her name echo on my brain
I close my eyes to ease the pain
It's out of my hands All I can do is pray
And throw shells in Galveston Bay
The mermaid I love swam away with my heart
I hope she finds her way back to me
I need her touch - I miss her smile every day
As I throw shells in Galveston Bay
The air is cool upon my face
As the wind lays down I turn and walk away
Out of the dark, I hear the dolphins cry
I watch as they vanish in the night
I come here alone I'll wait till Judgement Day
For her to come back to Galveston Bay
The mermaid I love left her heart with me
I lost her to the devil and the deep blue sea
I need her touch I miss her smile every day
I'm throwin' shells in Galveston Bay
I have no tears - My eyes are dry
I sit on the rocks and drink to my health
A lesson learned a heartbreak too late
I know what I feel will never fade away
I'm throwin' shells in Galveston Bay
The shrimp boats sleep tied to the dock
The sun falls down as all alone I walk
I hear her name echo on my brain
I close my eyes to ease the pain
It's out of my hands All I can do is pray
And throw shells in Galveston Bay
The mermaid I love swam away with my heart
I hope she finds her way back to me
I need her touch - I miss her smile every day
As I throw shells in Galveston Bay
The air is cool upon my face
As the wind lays down I turn and walk away
Out of the dark, I hear the dolphins cry
I watch as they vanish in the night
I come here alone I'll wait till Judgement Day
For her to come back to Galveston Bay
The mermaid I love left her heart with me
I lost her to the devil and the deep blue sea
I need her touch I miss her smile every day
I'm throwin' shells in Galveston Bay
