The Selkie's Gift

[Intro]
[Verse]
Cold wind blows the frosted grass
Through the broken panes of glass
High above the rocky steep
Where the silent waters sleep
She would hold my trembling hand
Pointing to the silver sand
[Pre-Chorus]
She told of skins they cast aside
To dance beneath the rising tide
Underneath the pale blue moon
Humming a forgotten tune
[Chorus]
Glowing shells upon the shore
Gifts they leave forevermore
Listen close and you will hear
Whispers of the ancient year
Singing soft and low
Where the cold tides flow
[Verse]
Salt-kissed wind begins to blow
In the bay below
Grandma said they watch our light
Shining through the night
Leaving treasures made of stone
We are never left alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows drift across the foam
Calling weary travelers home
Underneath the pale blue moon
Humming a forgotten tune
[Chorus]
Glowing shells upon the shore
Gifts they leave forevermore
Listen close and you will hear
Whispers of the ancient year
Singing soft and low
Where the cold tides flow
[Bridge]
Silver coats upon the reef
Bringing joy and healing grief
Harp strings echo in the dark
Lighting up a tiny spark
Gentle waves begin to rise
Underneath the starry skies
[Chorus]
Glowing shells upon the shore
Gifts they leave forevermore
Listen close and you will hear
Whispers of the ancient year
Singing soft and low
Where the cold tides flow
[Outro]
