ut hunting on the beach at dawn Your arrow struck a magic fawn Wonder and surprise When it changed before your eyes Oh, my!
Words transformed your skin and bones As she described her secret throne This daughter of the sea Oh, but you went willingly Yes, it’s true
Her shipwreck eyes, her deep-sea gaze Stirred up desire, churned up the waves White horses, foaming steeds Brought you down through the deep Oisin, my bastard brother Stay awhile, let’s have another
Years go by, your mother cries Gone, he’s gone, my precious son Your father thins into the air Your friends keep watch but then they despair
In hallowed halls in darkest ocean You lived perfection in slow motion Centuries went by Till one day you woke and cried, “It’s been too long!”
She let you go, she brought you home To discover you were now alone In a place you could not recognize Cause everyone had died
