[Verse 1]
From pools of xylophone [C]clear
From caves of memory
I saw the children at heart
That we once used to be
Borne on foaming seahorse herd
Compose with trumpeting shell
From lines across their hands
A song as new as new moon
As old as all the sands
[Cm]Shrank to stagnant from Atlant[G]ic wild[Em]

[Verse 2]
[C]Summoned by drum rolling surf
As laughing fish compel
[G]The young boy [C]woken in me
By clanging diving bell
Breaker[D]s p[C]illow fight the s[Am]hore[C]
She wriggles free in the tide
I'm locked in adult land
Back in the mirror she slides
Waving with comb in [Cm]hand[C]
I [Cm]was lucky to rem[G]ain [Em]beguiled
[G]Gro[Dm]wn to [Bb]child since[F] merma[Eb]id[D]
[Eb]Smiled
