Tempest
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
On a wild Atlantic evenin' I saw sitting on a rock
2
A lovely Merrow maiden combing her green locks
3
Then across the water her glowing eyes met mine
4
Caught me up and from me said:
5
"Marry me febrine."
6
Long into the squalling dark I held a pale green hand
7
Fortune had determined that I would leave dry land
8
Legend was that Merrow folk all love a stormy sea
9
Caught the souls of drowning men, never to set them free
10
Chorus:
11
She wore a cap of scarlet
12
And dove beneath the sea
13
I know that if I follow her
14
She'll never set me free
15
Through the grates of collarough she took me to her home
16
Fed me of the finest catch that through the waters roamed
17
All the golden treasures that slip down through the sea
18
Along the walls of aging souls, whispering to me
19
Chorus
20
Will you have a bit of wine, a drop to make you warm?
21
Merrows keep the very best, spoils of the storm
22
As my lover turned away I went down to my task
23
To lift the edge of every cage and free each soul at last
24
Chorus
25
I have kept the secret in our home of oyster shell
26
Now and then I free a soul that rises through the swell
27
Floundering children caper schooling the walls of green
28
The sky is deep the water where the bride has fished for me
29
Chorus
30
She wore a cap of scarlet
31
And dove beneath the sea
32
And now that I have followed her
33
I never will be free
