about

Sun-kissed and whimsical, with catchy island rhythms by Chendy Leon (Sultans of String), Bassels’ sultry and playful vocals, and sweet harmonies by Meg Contini (The O’Pears), this song tells the story of a mermaid who captures a pirate ship. She is a leaf in the wind and master of her own destiny

lyrics

Clouds blushin’ in the sky where the moon dies
Leaning on the corners of a citrus sea
Sailors delighted
This captains gonna ride it
But he crashes his ship into something so sweet

Hoo ooh ooh
Catch her and she gone
The tighter you hold on to her
The farther she gonna run
Hoo ooh ooh
Catcher and she gone
She’ll settle like a feather
Then she’ll blow
Where the wind goes..

On a rock lie a captain and his ship
And the girl who caught him
With a hook and a stick
Reeled him in with a wicked little grin
Devil on her fingers and an angel on her lips

Hoo ooh ooh
Catch her and she gone
The tighter you hold on to her
The farther she gonna run
Hoo ooh ooh
Catcher and she gone
She’ll settle like a feather
Then she’ll blow
Where the wind goes..

Where the sunset meets the shore
With the waves kissing their toes
Tangled bodies on the banks
Forever in a moment
Locked in arms that won’t let go

Leanin’ in heavy the scent of serendipity
Four legs locked and two minds blown
She purrs he sighs she smiles but there’s
A tickle on her neck and the wind starts to blow

Hoo ooh ooh
Catch her and she gone
The tighter you hold on to her
The farther she gonna run
Hoo ooh ooh
Catcher and she gone
She’ll settle like a feather
Then she’ll blow
Where the wind goes..

Stars crashing in the sky as the sun dies
She takes his ship as he sleeps
Leaving him with a hook and a stick
It’s the captains turn to capture me
