Selkie’s Life lyrics

I’m going back to the ocean
I’m gonna feel the sand
I’m gonna roll in the waves
Like a seal swim away from the strand

I got to live among men
I swooned the ladies well
I gained many new friends
None of them compare to the swells

Going down to the ocean
I missed the ocean

I tried to ride the waves
I thought that I could thrive
I struggled to go with the current
Every twist and turn felt contrived

Going down to the ocean
Back in the ocean

Got cold after a few days on the island
Good friends and lovers aren't warm enough for me
I wanna be free again, not hiding
The ocean is the place I need to be
I’m gonna dive 'neath the waves
I’m gone with the setting sun
I’m going back to the depths
Where a selkie’s life was begun

Going down to the ocean
Back in the ocean
