Mist and Sea Spray, Mermaids Singing Far Away Lyrics

Gin at night
In seaside shelters
Through sheets of blue-grey drizzle
There's gentle murmurs.
.. ..
She's wearing pearl
And shells in place of ribbons
Illuminating
What is otherwise
Hidden...
.. ..
No one warned me
Or even tried.
.. ..
.. ..
Tentacles and ocean
Debris.
a tender language
purring 'set me free'.
And I
watch her dance in the utter absence of all
.. ..
Light
.. ..
She's turning
Circles, sea waltzing in
Delight
A life of bitter
Memories
She wants to leave behind
.. ..
And so we swim with hands entwined.
.. ..
And so we swim to leave behind
And so she swims to leave behind
And so she swims I'm left behind
.. ..
We swim to leave behind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
