Frank Black - Selkie Bride Lyrics

Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity lucky me
In a storm so bad the worst of the autumn
She came from the bottom of the sea

Please won't you stay awhile
Give me your coat
Then we'll fall in love in my boat
You'll be my Selkie Bride

Please give me no denial
A promise I give
I'll forsake the life that I live
Now you're by my side

If you return again
I'll be the saddest man
My lips will burn your skin
If you return again

Please don't return again
Please don't return again
Please don't return again

Human form she had in Crescent City
She showed me her pity lucky me
On that day so sad breezy and sunny
She melted like honey in the sea
