lyrics

Drowning in the shallows Stumbling through the shadows

Searching for ways to keep control

Behind the skin that we knew the Selkie lived within you

Pulled by stronger currents than your soul


Through all your storms and sunshine heartbreaks and highlights

The spirit always restless on your shore

And when big seas were rolling the Selkie heard the calling

Your wave has come at last to take you home


Now you go where we can’t go

Down to depths only you know

And it’s not for us to know why

You tired of this world and slipped away with the tide


So pull the ocean over It’s warm beneath its covers

Let yourself go under one last time

The empty shell that they found And put into the cold ground

You cast off the body that slowed you down
