The heartbreak of a man who's girl has left him for a life at sea.

lyrics

She could have been an old pair of claws,
scuttling across the pacific floor.
Got a magic lantern lit to her home,
she’s a mermaid’s song who haunts what it wants.

She’s a sea girl at heart- make the mariana trench her home.
She’s a sea girl at heart.

She could never find an oyster shell that would open,
even that fancy restaurant in Milan.
She could never find a pair of shoes that would stay on,
her arms they’re known with the golden bracelet on.

With it on, with it always on. With it on ’til the day is done.
Does she dare disturb the universe- will she take it off and run?
It’s a go! It’s a go!
Do what Thelma do, get your Thelma and your Louise on.

Sea girl, sea girl’s gone, gone to find her seaward home.
Sea girl, sea girl’s gone, gone a-riding on seaward- home.

Man, I can feel it in my bones, she ain’t ever coming home.
Man, I can feel it in my bones, she ain’t ever coming home
But do I want her to? Did I ever say I want her to?
It’s a grander love, it’s a grander love.
It’s a kinder love, it’s a kinder love.

I like her better now she’s part-
I like her better now she’s part of a grander love.
