The Selkie Wife (ft. Bigb_oobie)

[Intro] [Verse 1] From the dark below and the blue-grey tide, I heard her sing, I watched her stride, Up from the sea where the shore runs dry, And I took home a Selkie wife. Her hair held salt, her voice held waves, Her hands were soft when they held mine, Seven years blessed by laughter and sun, Till the sea began to call her home. [The Selkie's Refrain] (Come back to me, come back to sea...) (The tide is calling, come to me...) [Verse 2] The rains could no longer calm her sleep, No words remained for the vows we'd keep, So I brought her down where the waters meet, For one last kiss, then let her leave. [The Selkie's Refrain] (Don't hold me here, my love, let go...) (The sea is calling down below...) [Verse 3] I've stepped in the waves, I've reached once again, For my sweet Selkie and her soft hand, But a woman's breath belongs to the land... Where do you swim? I could not stand. [Instrumental Interlude] [The Selkie's Refrain] (Come back to shore, stay here at sea...) (My heart is there, but my body's free...) [Verse 4] When morning came with the turning tide, I watched the foam roll far and wide, And somewhere out where the deep waves fall, I heard my beloved Selkie call. [The Selkie's Refrain] (My heart is yours though the sea is wide...) (I still love you from the other side...)
