No Mermaid Lyrics - Joan Baez

We went down to the edge of the water 

You were afraid to go in 

You said,? There might be sharks out there in the ocean? 

And I said,? I'm only going for a swim? 

I was swimming around in a circle 

I wasn't always in view 

You said,? We might get into red flag danger 

And I am alone when I'm not with you? 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

And I am no fisherman's slave 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I keep my head above the waves 

We were swinging from the center of the ceiling 

You were afraid to give in 

I said,? I know I'll always live for this feeling? 

You closed your eyes, you said,? Never again?

We were dancing in the middle of the desert 

You said,? We'll burn under the hot sun? 

I said,? I'd rather be the color of pleasure 

Than watch like you from under the cover? 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I am no fisherman's slave 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I keep my head above the waves 

We went down to the edge of the water 

You were afraid to go in 

You said,? There might be sharks out there in the ocean? 

And I said,? I'm only going for a swim? 

I was swimming around in a circle 

I wasn't always in view 

You said,? We might get into red flag danger 

And I am alone when I'm not with you?

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I am no fisherman's slave 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I keep my head above the waves 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I am no fisherman's slave 

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid 

I keep my head above the waves
