lyrics

Tanned Legs


Her tanned legs
Move slowly before
The blue tiled
Swimming pool walls
She holds her
Daughter by the hand
They climb
The family slide
And go down
It’s translucent tube
and splash
Into the foaming brine

I used to be a mermaid
My silky salty skin
Would light up in the moonlight
Before I’d dive into the deep

She flips
her hair from her neck
Tightens
her bikini strap
Shakes
The moisture down her back
Heads for
Hurricane bay
To float on
Substitute waves
She smiles
Just before she leaps

chorus

And I left it all for love
But he broke my fragile heart
Left me standing in the surf
Forever stranded upon this earth

chorus

Her tanned legs
Move slowly before
The blue tiled
Swimming pool walls
She holds her
Daughter by the hand
