Selkie Lyrics:
--------------------------------------------------------
Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin
When she was bathing in the morning light, he asked her "would you be my wife?"
She said the ocean is where I belong, with me you cannot come along
She swam away and kindly waved "So long, so long"
And he said

Selkie, please come along with me
Selkie, please come along with me

Onshore is where he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin
Months turned into years, oh, his longing felt severe
Until the day she came to land and shed her skin lying in the sand
He stole what he believed he earned and took her by the hand
And he said

Selkie, now you belong to me
Selkie, now you belong to me

She took his hand and walked along, away from where she used to belong but left her heart there in the sea
Months turned into years, oh, her longing felt severe
Until the day she found her pelt and left without a farewell
She shifted back and swam away and disappeared into the ocean's sway
And he cried

Selkie, where are thee?
Selkie, where are thee?

Upon a cliff, he waited for he was captivated by a woman in sealskin
Months turned into years, oh his longing felt severe
Waiting to steal back her pelt, why she left, he could not tell
He'd lost the one he never had and threw himself off the cliff and fell
And he screamed

Selkie, I'll join you in the sea
Selkie, I'll join you in the sea
