So take me with you, please don’t leave
I want to sail on the open seas
Through wind and weather, through swell and tide
I’ll make a home right by your side
Like a seabird taking flight
My love she left me at morning light
The selkie calling of ocean spray
Our love ashore but she would not stay
So take me with you, please don’t leave
I want to sail on the open seas
Through wind and weather, through swell and tide
I’ll make a home right by your side
In the autumn, her ship came through
Her eyes a deep and a stormy blue
I held her gaze, but not for long
I closed my eyes and her ship was gone
So take me with you, please don’t leave
I want to sail on the open seas
Through wind and weather, through swell and tide
I’ll make a home right by your side
Now in the garden I walk alone
And it’s the one life I’ve ever known
Past the horizon beneath a star
I’m worlds away from where you are
So take me with you, please don’t leave
I want to sail on the open seas
Through wind and weather, through swell and tide
I’ll make a home right by your side
