Lost at Seaflower Cove Lyrics
Oh the dirty wordless fingers come again
Where the mermaid singers
Oh when I need them
Oh how I need them
Pretty words doled up on silver platters
Chanting sea shanties the words that matter
Oh how they shatter me
Tattooed sailor man pull that net from the sea
Is there something good inside there for me
Something for me
No more rusty strings not these deadened things
Where the mermaid singers
Oh when I need them
Oh how I need them
Chanting sea shanties the words that matter
Oh how they shatter me
Is there something good inside there for me
Something for me
No more rusty strings not these deadened things

This is the song that made me fall in love with Laura Veirs. It's so vivid and conjurs up the most beautiful images (at least for me). I want to say it's a bit like a surrealist painting- sort of dreamlike- but I don't know enough about that to really make the comparison.
In any case, the aesthetics of this song are incredible.
Short and sweet. Musically, IMO, it borrows from Yes/All Good People/Your Move. That musical chorus is evident through several songs in the album giving it an interesting coherency.
