Lyrics

MEREM AND JEROM
Living life right down the middle, their names just letters apart
And so it was with their hearts, right down to their bones
Merem and Jerom
He grew the reds she turned to cider Mulled with orange and cloves
They would drink if from mugs of plain styrofoam
Merem and Jerom
Find, they would, somehow to flatter She loved to make him behave
He loved that her name, a brief palindrome
Merem and Jerom
Tucked away there among the mountains The quiet nights were the best
With her chin on his chest The soft gramophone
Oh, their love Their love wasn’t modern at all
Stone by stone they built up a love of their own
that for their lives was the only love they ever would know
From the lack of being lonely he would leave for a while
She would turn off her smile until he came home
Merem and Jerom
MEREM AND JEROM
Living life right down the middle, their names just letters apart
And so it was with their hearts, right down to their bones
Merem and Jerom
He grew the reds she turned to cider Mulled with orange and cloves
They would drink if from mugs of plain styrofoam
Merem and Jerom
Find, they would, somehow to flatter She loved to make him behave
He loved that her name, a brief palindrome
Merem and Jerom
Tucked away there among the mountains The quiet nights were the best
With her chin on his chest The soft gramophone
Oh, their love Their love wasn’t modern at all
Stone by stone they built up a love of their own
that for their lives was the only love they ever would know
From the lack of being lonely he would leave for a while
She would turn off her smile until he came home
Merem and Jerom
