Lyrics
The Seal Hunter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Carl was going to walk until he found Alaska
or a knife to carve a sneer into a bathroom wall
while Willie found his note that would lead him to her legs
that were lyin’ in her bed still calling out for Carl
where has my love gone?
I’ll love Willie will he love me?
Carl found Alaska hunted seals for seven months
found it immoral
returned to seek his home
little did he find when he arrived
the door was open
everything was out on the lawn
oh where has my love gone
she loves Willie will she love me?
Carl found Alaksa hunted seals for seven months
found it immoral
returned to seek his home
