about

Song inspired by the film A Necklace of Shells

lyrics

His lover awaits with cool grey eyes,
Down on the shore where the seagulls cry.
The boy sets out as the sun goes down,
And the gas lamps are lit in the sleepy town.
Over the cliffs and the cold wind blows,
It cuts like a knife through his summer clothes,
But the dark haired girl is there on the sand,
A necklace of shells knotted in her hand.

I think I might love you enough,
To take off this ragged sealskin.
I think I might love you enough,
To strip down to the bone.

She hangs round his neck her seashell charm,
"May love that is true keep you safe from harm."
All summer long that he meets her there,
The ocean is kind and the winds are fair.

But soon spinning in the tavern's warmth he seeks,
Kisses sweet like a flower, not salt like the sea.
The fire burns bright as he smiles and flirts,
A necklace of shells hidden under his shirt.

The morning is clear as he leaves her door,
The storm doesn't come 'til he's far from shore.
Now a dark haired girl stands alone on the sand,
A necklace of shells broken in her hand.
