O my love come home to me

I need you more than the raging sea

the tides are crashing upon the shore

the light is on at my lonely door

​

O my love it’s been so long

I need to know, is something wrong

The selkies call late in the night

Their mournful wails give such a fright

​

O my love I will wait for you

Your tight embrace when the wait is through

Your simple smile that brightens the room

I just can’t accept your watery tomb

​

O my love I still gather shells

That are on the beach when the ocean swells

Collecting stones and rusty things

That sit on our nightstand with our wedding rings

​

O my love I will never lose hope

I read your old letters in order to cope

The ones you wrote when our love was new

So many years have passed without you
