Selkie Bride

Selkie Bride - Frank Black

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
