The Handsome Family The Sea Rose Lyrics

VRS 1
Wrapped in the weeds of the shallows
In the moon's drifting light
Calling from the cold, wet rocks,
the sea ro-ose of the low tides
VRS 2
A passing ship along the coast
heard her sadly calling
and turned its sails to the sound,
of the rose, the sea rose calling
RRIN
In the waves, the waves she's calling
HORUS
Lonely, lonely, my heart is dark
the rocks lie cold beneath me
Come closer, closer darling one
We'll marry in the seaweed
VRS 3
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 are falling
RRIN
The waves, the waves were falling
VRS 4
Come, come my darling boy
into my arms awaiting
Down, down in the cold, dark sea
I'm waiting here to love you
HORUS
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
