Ron Sexsmith - Chateau Mermaid Lyrics

Welcome to Chateau Mermaid
Where your day’s unhurried
Nor shadowed by a cloud of worry
Where the wine it flows all day

Shake off your sad old workplace
Come sit by the fireplace
Unravel in a shroud of Mary Jane
Till unkindness melts away
At Chateau Mermaid

Rest your weary bones
Come dry your teary eyes
For your heart is nearly home
And your home it surely lies
In Chateau Mermaid

All come to Chateau Mermaid
The parade’s going your way
There’s a candle glowing in the foyer
Where the music plays all night

I’m the King of all that I survey
The smoke tree, the driveway
Our guests have travelled such a long way
And we’re seduced by their headlights
At Chateau Mermaid

Dab your teary eyes
Come rest your weary bones
For it’s here your future lies
And your soul is nearly home
In Chateau Mermaid
Chateau Mermaid
Chateau Mermaid
