He wiped his eyes as the dawn advanced

On a tired wakeless world

Then she left a gift in his callous tent

Outro:
Dm C
The years sailed on and the selkies song

Became a memory on the wind

And the gift she gave found a shallow grave

In a box where his memories lived

Until one day in the village square
Dm C
He heard a voice that he once knew
Bb F C
When he turned around he saw the sparkle in her eyes
Dm C G
