Selkie - Boy
Go now, Selkie-Boy, swim from the shore
Rinse your ears clean of human chatter
And empty your bones of heather and moor
And your mind of human matter
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
High are our voices
Offering welcome
And drawing you down to where you belong
Selkie, Selkie-Boy, come join your kin
Eager your kind are to meet you
As salt sets its seal on your silky skin
Let green sea rise up to greet you
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
High are our voices
Offering welcome
And drawing you down to where you ...
Blue is the water - it beckons you ...
Blue is the water
Oh, Selkie-Boy, swim from the shore
Rinse your ears clean of human chatter
And empty your bones of heather and moor
And your mind of its human matter
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
High are our voices
Offering welcome
And drawing you down to where you belong
Rinse your ears clean of human chatter
And empty your bones of heather and moor
And your mind of human matter
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
High are our voices
Offering welcome
And drawing you down to where you belong
Selkie, Selkie-Boy, come join your kin
Eager your kind are to meet you
As salt sets its seal on your silky skin
Let green sea rise up to greet you
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
High are our voices
Offering welcome
And drawing you down to where you ...
Blue is the water - it beckons you ...
Blue is the water
Oh, Selkie-Boy, swim from the shore
Rinse your ears clean of human chatter
And empty your bones of heather and moor
And your mind of its human matter
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
Hear us and hasten
High are our voices
Offering welcome, and keening our joy
High are our voices
Offering welcome
And drawing you down to where you belong
