I waited for the wretched seas one day to return to me . Who gave my love her resting place . And so I believed the wretched sea would some day do the same for me
But whenst it came it came in with a whine , and asked me not to waste my time . And so she left , and returned again , For she said “ you’re love is dead , now leave me be , or even you might one day belong to me ?”
.
that raging beast that took her life , when we were serenading by the banks of the Clyde
A mighty wave took her away , for that I am for sure .
And now she asks me , Lapping like a dog at her masters feet When all I wanted her to do was to spit and howl .with rage at me .
O cursed sea won’t you please return my love to me
But now You come to me with open arms For alone I see now, her footsteps , and her charms , dissapearing into an open grave . Where not even a shivrless man that was so brave , would venture more than his toe to save. And to wrestle that great beast upon the shore the likes of which I would see no more .
But out there is where my beloved lies , below tranquil seas and dark blue skies And if I am to see her again , Then i must sumon up the gates of hell . And hense be noted before the brave , That in these once troubled waters , I did once lend my hand to save .
Then one morning with a chirping of the birds , a body of a young girl once bound to the sea , was Surrendered and given back to me .
But I For one was never found , Thou in the winds and rains my voice Can still be found .
