Warm me with two cows
Passing notes talking out loud
in forbidden language
Am I in heaven now
cause all I can remember
is a great dark seal
That bore me along
Take a Selkie for a bride
As long as I can keep the hide
Up in the rafters
And no one even pries
But once you’ve made her cradle
Better keep your eye on
The motion of the sea
Neither Chains of steel or chains of love
will stop a Selkie when she finds her skin
And there’s not one soul she won’t leave in the cold
Can’t stop a Selkie when she finds her skin
Poor Little Sprout
Jim this laundromat’s too loud
She should be by the water
They’ve got no mother now
So put the label on her there’s a ferry at dawn
Her marbles are gone
There’s something said about village boys
The poison fumes the traffic noise
They’re barely standing
They’re gainfully employed
But the city girls aren’t taken with their stories of yore
They’ve heard it all before
Neither Chains of steel or chains of love
will stop a Selkie when she finds her skin
And there’s not one soul she won’t leave in the cold
Can’t stop a Selkie when she finds her skin
