Margaret Sands

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Scuttling claws have cleaned her hands Rising and falling In the whirlpool sand You, you who turn the wheel Your eyes of green and steel Consider Margaret Sands [Chorus] How the gulls cry (how the gulls cry) How the sunlight fans Gliding 'bove the bones (gliding 'bove the bones) Of Margaret Sands [Verse 2] Now she's married to the swell She's swaying in the shells A whisper in the waves How I listen as I sail Straight-backed and pale Her opalescent gaze [Chorus] How the gulls cry (how the gulls cry) How the sunlight fans Gliding 'bove the bones (gliding 'bove the bones) Of Margaret Sands [Outro] Now she's married to the swell And she's swaying in the shells
