Live at Glasgow Barrowlands
Mermaid comes up smiling with a grin that's big
and wide
She's been swimming and a-swirling
In the lace that she's been wearing and she's
SKIPPING AND A-TWIRLING, SPINNING IN HIS DREAMS
LIKE A SHELL TWISTS ROUND IN SPIRALS
WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES, WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES
And the man who almost caught her will search through every ocean
But you can bet there's a hole in his net
That's the reason why he'll never catch her
SKIPPING AND A-TWIRLING, SPINNING IN HIS DREAMS
LIKE A SHELL TWISTS ROUND IN SPIRALS
WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES, WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES
And the man who almost caught her will search through every ocean
But you can bet there's a hole in his net
That's the reason why he'll never catch her
SKIPPING AND A-TWIRLING, SPINNING IN HIS DREAMS
LIKE A SHELL TWISTS ROUND IN SPIRALS
WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES, WHEN THE TIDE LEAVES
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah) (2x)
