The Desert Mermaid

I have tried to make the song work, storywise. It mostly doesn't. The best I could do was to have the story be her telling him to go home and him whining (which is what I thought the song was the first time I half-heard it) followed by him accepting his chilly fate and her fretting and keeping him in lest important bits be lost to frostbite. I like the idea of friends a lot better.
