Mermaid sits on a side wash rock in the harbor
C
Watching the children play
Dm F
And every day sun or rain
Bb C
Old Man kneels to the earth to pray
Dm
For the rain and stars

And the cars at the heart
Bb C
The dark and windy Vancouver

A black day in December

A big wave on the horizon

The first wind blowing in

Left Stanley soldiers felled and broken

And Old Man kneels to the earth

In his mother's garden

Where his own father was laid
Dm F
And every day sun or rain
Bb C
Mermaid sits on her rock and she prays
Dm
For the salmon in the sea
F
For the winged in the trees

For the Old Man on his knees

Oh and for the beauty in the park

And the cars at the heart

Her own sisters and her brothers

And ten thousand friends and lovers

Mermaid sits on a tide wash rock in the harbor

Where the blue heron would lay

And every day sun or rain

Old friends fall to the earth and decay

With the city by the sea

Sweet brine in the breeze

With the mountains watching over

Her Vancouver
