lyrics

The Selkie by Elle Osborne

When they cast you
to the wind and the sparkling sea,
a seal in the distance calling out to thee
And you’re home already

And they sang songs for you
Invoked a god for you
called on all that you
had loved or left or longed for

And we told our tales of you
Took the best of you
Made a new life for you
That oh I wish were true

And wherever you are now, I know they’ll love you
And wherever you are now, I hope you’re free
And wherever you are now, I hope they’ve got good whisky
And wherever you are now, I hope you rest in peace


And I hold you still
and will until
The seas
are rung out
and hung out
to dry
