Shenanigan - Muruche [Song] lyrics



By the water walks a maiden
Singing to the sea
Dressed in rags her hair unbound
And madness in her dwells
In her arms a seal skin hide
Wrapped 'round bones of white
Tenderly to her phantom child
She croons an eerie lullaby

Muruche, your cradle is the sea
Muruche, I hear your siren call to me
Muruche, your selkie song enchants my soul
Muruche, my weeping heart you stole

He came to me out of the waves
The moonlight in his hair
The stars reflected in his eyes
His skin so white and fair
And with his dark and tender voice
Beguiling words did sing
Oh selkie song enchants the soul
In all earth there's no sweeter thing

Each night I'd lie upon my bed
Until I heard his call
And softly I would slip away
Along the darken fall
And down beside the singing waves
I'd lie there in his arms
Drowning in his liquid eyes
My heartbeat like a raging storm

The daylight hours I soon did spend
Yearning for the light
The days all seemed but passing dreams
I could not bear the light
I left the bonnie lad I should have
Married come the spring
I left my home and family
For a selkie I left everything

One moonlight night the villagers
Followed me from town
They found me with my selkie love
And they did shoot him down
And so from my sweet lover's bones
A cradle shall I build
A mantle of a soft seal skin
I'll wrap my selkie baby in

Muruche, your cradle is the sea
Muruche, I hear your siren call to me
Muruche, your selkie song enchants my soul
Muruche, my weeping heart you stole
