No Mermaid lyrics

We went down to the edge of the water
You were afraid to go in
You said, “There might be sharks out there in the ocean�
And I said, “I'm only going for a swim�

I was swimming around in a circle
I wasn't always in view
You said, “We might get into red flag danger
And I am alone when I'm not with you�

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
And I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves

We were swinging from the center of the ceiling
You were afraid to give in
I said, “I know I'll always live for this feeling�
You closed your eyes, you said, “Never again�
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/joan_baez/no_mermaid.html ]
We were dancing in the middle of the desert
You said, “We'll burn under the hot sun�
I said ,“I'd rather be the color of pleasure
Than watch like you from under the cover�

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves

We went down to the edge of the water
You were afraid to go in
You said,�There might be sharks out there in the ocean�
And I said, “I'm only going for a swim�

I was swimming around in a circle
I wasn't always in view
You said, “We might get into red flag danger
And I am alone when I'm not with you�

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves

I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I am no fisherman's slave
I am no mermaid, I am no mermaid
I keep my head above the waves
