Bat For Lashes - Seal Jubilee lyrics

rate me

The seals they cried in jubilee

The sharks they howled along with me

And birds they flew into the wind

The whale he rode the lonely sea

And I dived into you

I dived into you

And oh this ocean blue

Cos I dived into you

The lighthouse dog lifted his brow

The crippled trees bent low to ground

Swans they rustled with lifetime's grouse

Hopeful as they nestled the past

Teachers and travellers made their mark

They dined and feasted on whale and shark

And so the ocean lost its depths

And boredom rained as the ocean wept

Birds they raised their young for dead

And ladies used feathery pillows for bed

And black snow came and black snow stayed

And froze the ocean out of love

I don't know

I lay quiet next to you

Transformed a-whole transformed anew

No longer diving into

But lying quiet next to you
