Frank Black — Selkie Bride lyrics

Lyrics

Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity lucky me In a storm so bad the worst of the autumn
She came from the bottom of the sea
Please won’t you stay awhile
Give me your coat
Then we’ll fall in love in my boat
You’ll be my Selkie Bride
Please give me no denial
A promise I give
I’ll forsake the life that I live
Now you’re by my side
If you return again
I’ll be the saddest man
My lips will burn your skin
If you return again
Please don’t return again
Please don’t return again
Please don’t return again
Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity lucky me On that day so sad breezy and sunny
She melted like honey in the sea
