Deeper Is the Sea
Many the years spent by your side While slow the seasons turned Many the times you closed your eyes While need within me burned Chorus Hark now, waves roll Water calls to me Deeply love you Deeper is the sea Glad was the day I came to you All barefoot on the sand Power that you have over me Was given by my hand True was the love I gave to you And true my faithful heart Was not my eyes that wandered far Nor tore our bond apart Chorus Five children fair I’ve borne to you Two daughters and three sons But the sea-song that called to me Now calls to every one I did not mean to teach them so Of current and sea-foam But you have taken all I have So I will take them home Chorus Icy, abandoned is our bed In other’s arms you lie You will not see your children leave Nor hear my sad goodbye While I alone came to the shore Now six return to sea My love for you will never die But selkie I must be Chorus |
