Marrying the Sea - Declan O'Rourke/De Dannan/Jimmy Keane[00:00:00]
Well I stood before the ocean[00:00:18]
In the middle of the night[00:00:23]
Cause I loved her so I asked her[00:00:28]
Then if she would be my wife [00:00:31]
And then I closed my eyes and waited [00:00:38]
And I listened for an answer[00:00:44]
Until she kissed my feet and whispered [00:00:49]
'I could not give you my hand sir [00:00:55]
Then as she walked me up and down along the shore[00:01:01]
She said You're far too young to marry me [00:01:09]
For I am old as old can be [00:01:15]
And I've been wed with many men [00:01:22]
But for all my love I've far outlived them all [00:01:28]
So I went to her the next night[00:01:37]
All a-merried up with wine[00:01:42]
And I asked her for her long blue hand [00:01:47]
For to hold hers there in mine [00:01:53]
And then once again I waited and I listened for a while [00:01:59]
Until I heard her voice come crashing in the waves[00:02:10]
That broke all round for miles and miles [00:02:14]
She said How could I place my trust in thee [00:02:22]
When I am bound and you are free[00:02:28]
See so many men have took my hand [00:02:34]
And so many of them left me for the land [00:02:40]
There were fishermen whalers seamen and sailors [00:02:47]
But for all it's just me and the moon [00:02:55]
And for each star above me ten more have loved me [00:03:02]
How could it be different with you[00:03:11]
So when it was quiet on the third night I said [00:03:20]
My life is in your hands [00:03:27]
You can keep me for the time I have [00:03:32]
Or I'll lie here on the sand [00:03:38]
And it was quiet on the third night[00:03:45]
As I took off my shoes [00:03:51]
But as I walked into her arms she said [00:03:56]
Sure what have I to lose[00:04:04]
