Encounter with a Selkie off Llangranog

Lyrics

Afloat upon the bearded sea Two black eyes stare back at me And sink into the grey and green A conversation lost between The surface and the flow of the Gulf Stream I drifted out here on the tide Behind the waves that surfers ride Warm and salty silent sweet A place where alien species meet I can't feel the earth beneath my feet Carreg bica slowly worn away Shrinking by the hour and by the day Half the sizе it was in years before Standing sеntinel calling from the shore When rockets split the sky over Aberporth The water swells up in my ears To wash my face with salty tears Current tugging at my toes Where she drags me I don't know Down down below, down down below, down down below The selkie surfaced once again Clambered up upon a rock Lost in silence staring out to sea Hopelessly slow to react
