The Sea Rose (Unseen 2016)

Текст песни The Handsome Family - The Sea Rose (Unseen 2016)

Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows
In the moon's drifting light
Calling from the cold bare rocks
The sea rose of the love tides
A passing ship along the coast
Heard her sadly calling
And turned its sails to the sound of the rose
The sea rose calling
In the waves, the waves she's calling
"Call me, lonely, my heart is dark
And the rocks lie cold beneath me
Come closer, closer, darling one
We'll marry innocently"
On the passing ship a sailor boy
He heard the sea rose calling
And from the bow he dove on down
To the waves, the waves a-falling
The waves, the waves were falling
"Come, come, my darling boy
Into my arms I'm waiting
Down, down in the cold dark sea
I'm waiting here to love you"
To her arms, her lovely arms
The currents pulled him splashing
But her body was only foaming waves
And her voice just water rushing
In the waves the sea rose falling
In the waves, the waves, my darling
The waves, the sea rose calling
