I feel like the mermaids represent something in this, especially when it says "the mermaids you turned loose brought back your tears", but I'm not sure what. Any ideas? I do think that the 'tears' represent his lost innocence, though, because of the song "I Want My Tears Back".

I think the first use of "Mermaid" is repesenting the singer's husband/wife.
I'm pretty sure the second use of "Mermaids" repesents their children ("Mermaids" is plural, Not singular. that detail is very importaint)

So to say "The mermaids you turn loose brought back your tears" could mean our children left home (turn loose) and have now come back to be with you before you pass away. (The parent is sad to see their children grow, the children are now sad to see there parent go, hence "Brought back")
It's a truely Amazing Line....
