Remembered Music

’Tis said, the pipe and lute that charm our ears
Derive their melody from rolling spheres;
But Faith, o’erpassing speculation’s bound,
Can see what sweetens every jangled sound. (x2)
We, who are parts of Adam, heard with him
The song of angels and of seraphim.
Our memory, though dull and sad, retains
Some echo still of those unearthly strains. (x2)
Oh, music is the meat of all who love,
Music uplifts the soul to realms above.
The ashes glow, the latent fires increase:
We listen and are fed with joy and peace. (x2)

You are imagining me
your heart is now mine
you will always remember me
and give your life to me
I know we are far away
You know we are far away
lost in a place where we
don’t have no good food
don’t have no lovers too
all we have left is the sea
Hands sore by pulling strands
Eyes dimmed by saltiness
This is the price we’ve paid
The grain on your wooden stern
Is etched in my withered skin
And this is how we’re made
I don’t want to run away from here
I’ve got no other place to be
All this time I’ve spent away at sea
Seeking my lucky wind
I see young fishermen
Turned into businessmen
They mine the sea for gold
Clean faces and hands
And a life on the land
At the price of what we haven’t sold
You see when we’re mooring
My family imploring
To give it all up and stay
They talk with the heart
But they don’t see the art
In us being the mermaids’ prey
I don’t want to run away from here
I’ve got no other place to be
All this time I’ve spent away at sea
Seeking my lucky wind
I don’t want to run away from here
I’ve got no other place to be
All this time I’ve spent away at sea
Now I’m with my lucky wind
