Eshkol, i'm tired he said
Eshkol, i'm leaving you now
I could rail to the sky that my life is unfair
But a child of the yew clan must never despair
A sea-faring satyr must never despair
The selkie was mine as i grew from a maid
For seven sweet years we loved unafraid
But all sweet things end,
No matter how well they are made
I treasured his sweetness as he treasured me
And now i have naught but a life on the sea
A forest girl takes to a life on the sea?
Eshkol, i'm tired he said
Eshkol, i'm leaving you now
I railed to the trees that my life was unfair
But a child of the yew clan must never despair
A seafaring satyr must never despair!
I've taken his skin and i've given it back
His body is gone but his lesson will stay
I took a chance on his leaving dance
Now i leave with every wave
I am leaving on every sweet ocean wave
So yes, a satyr will take to the sea
I'll treasure my story as he treasured me
With a fox girl for captain i'll take to the sea!
Eshkol, i'm tired, he said.
Eshkol, i'm leaving you now
I railed to the trees that my life was unfair
But i'm blessed by the sun and the salt in my hair
A seafaring satyr must never despair
I treasured his body
I treasured his skin
He taught me of leaving, and so i begin
Now i've the power of leaving
And i'm leaving on every wave
Stride from the ashes, i will,
Stride to the docks, head held high
Rejoice in the scent of the sea on the air
For a seafaring satyr must never despair
A seafaring satyr must never despair!
Now i've the power of leaving
And i'm leaving on every wave
