Compostion : John Doyle

lyrics

Swaying tide caress me
Seaweed, kelp and brine
Deep water, dark and heaving sea
No memories, just deep breathing
No name, no sense of time
A dark regret enfolds this shape of mine
Till the tide turns and the sea calls out once more
Till the tide turns and the sea calls out once more
My child I help you tightly
I nursed you and I sheltered you
Safe from harm and from all danger
I watched you grow so quickly
Deeply diving, swimming
Gliding past the fairy rock where our kin slumber
Refrain
The storm it raged for three days
We sheltered in the bay
Casting off our cauls
We slept undaunted
When I awoke I called you
No answer came to me
I searched and searched
While tears fell down unnumbered
Refrain
A Distant light was shining
On Eday’s lonely isle
Looking inside I saw you there a sleeping
On a bed of soft green ivy
A couple brimming with pride
Your Selkie skin was hanging by your side
Refrain
Swaying tide caress me
Seaweed, kelp and brine
Deep water, dark and heaving seas
Seven years a changeling
Seven years of trials
To see you coming back to me my child
