[Verse]
On the shore where the cold winds bite
I saw her skin in the silver light
Her seal coat cast
Her soul untied
She's all I desire
She's all I desire
[Prechorus]
The loch whispers her name
The waves carry her flame
[Chorus]
Selkie
Selkie
Come back to me
I’ll wait by the tide
By the trembling sea
Selkie
Selkie
My heart you’ve won
But the loch keeps secrets from everyone
[Verse 2]
She danced where the heather grows thin
A fleeting love
A life within
Her eyes were storms
Her smile a sin
She's all I desire
She's all I desire
[Bridge]
If I could steal her seal-skin gown
Would she stay and never drown
In waters deep where her kin abound
She's all I desire
She's all I desire
[Chorus]
Selkie
Selkie
Come back to me
I’ll wait by the tide
By the trembling sea
Selkie
Selkie
My heart you’ve won
But the loch keeps secrets from everyone
