about

From the album Sorry I'm Late, recorded at the Yellow Submarine, Jerusalem, 20.10.96

lyrics

My little mermaid
Let's call her Diver Dawn
She can swim from here to anywhere
In the wink of an eye
She's been drinking pure oxygen
Since she was born
She can't add or subtract
But she can multiply

Since you're already asking
I'll tell you how we met
By the red flags of sunset
On a terrapin sea
I was fishing for my dinner
And I cast out my net
When something silver-green and shining
Winked up at me

And sometimes I send her
To find me buried treasure
She brings me back silver and gold
Sometimes she dives deep down
Just for her pleasure
And brings me back epiphanies
From the days of old

I pulled her up and set her free
And I made her a bandage
And I carried her home
To my cabin in the woods
She can't really walk
And she has trouble with the language
But when I come home
She makes me feel good

First came the bear
And he slept by the fireplace
And then came the lynx
And she slept in his fur
And then came the baby
And he didn't have my face
But he knew how to talk
And to swim just like her

And sometimes I send her
To find me buried treasure...
