Lyrics The Silkie Song - Karan Casey

The Silkie Song

I’ll come up from the salty sea
And watch the waves come in
I’ll come up from the salty sea
And watch the waves come in
Silkie song o’er the rain and wind
Watch the waves come in
Sing a song in the moon and sun
A seal out of my skin
I’ll come up to the sandy beach
I’ll hear the silkie sing
I’ll come up to the sandy beach
I’ll hear the silkie sing
Magic song and I’ll sing along
Hear the silkie sing
Sing along in my golden coat
A seal out of my skin
I’ll go down with a shopping bag
All full up to the brim
I’ll go down with my shopping bag
All full up to the brim
Chocolate bars and a kettle of fish
Full up to the brim
Share my tea with the seals who sing
We’re full up to the brim
Go to sleep with no shoes and socks
I’m going for a swim
Go to sleep with no shoes and socks
I’m going for a swim
Pack my boots in a cardboard box
I’m going for a swim
Read them all on the slimy rocks
A seal inside my skin
I’ll come up from the salty sea
And watch the waves come in
I’ll come up from the salty sea
And watch the waves come in
