The Sea Rose

Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows
In the moon's drifting light
Calling from the cold, wet rocks
The sea rose of the low tides
A passing ship along the coast
Heard her sadly calling
And turned its sails to the sound
The rose, the sea rose calling
In the waves, the waves she's calling
Lonely, lonely, my heart is dark
The rocks lie cold beneath me
Come closer, closer darling one
We'll marry in the sea weed
On the passing ship, a sailor boy
He heard the sea rose calling
And from the bow he dove on down
To the waves, the waves, falling
The waves, the waves were falling
Come, come darling boy
Into my arms awaiting
Down, down in the cold
Dark sea I'm waiting here to love you
To her arms, her lovely arms
The currents pulled him splashing
But her body was only foaming waves
And her voice just water rushing
In the waves the sea rose falling
In the waves, the waves, my darling
The waves, the sea rose calling
