Lyrics
SEASHELL
Chessie 1998 BMI
My brown haired love with eyes of blue, you've left me for the sea.
My tow-head love with eyes of green, a ship takes you from me.
You've each left on a merchant-man, bound for lands unknown.
And I am left upon the quay to wait till you come home. To wait till you come home.
One went east, one to the west, O tell me seashell do.
Which one do I love the best? The green eyed or the blue?
Which one do I love the best? The green eyed or the blue?
I watch from high on wind-swept dunes to see billowing sails,
The clouds float by in sea-blue skies, my heart within me quails.
Could pirates sink those mighty ships and take my loves from me?
There are so many secrets there, far beneath the sea. Far beneath the sea.
O seashell cast your spell for me as I hold you to my ear.
Let your voice tell of the sea and those whom I hold dear.
Let your voice tell of the sea and those whom I hold dear.
Days have somehow become months and months have grown to years,
With still no word from merchant-men, no hope to calm my fears.
Alone I pace the sandy beach as heavy seas roll in.
The wind plays tag and pulls my hair, the seagulls wheel and spin.
The wind plays tag and pulls my hair, the seagulls wheel and spin.
O seashell take this love of mine far out cross isle and sea,
And give it to who's meant to come back home to me.
And give it to who's meant to come back home to me.
My brown-haired love with eyes of blue has left me for the sea.
My tow-head love with eyes of green, a ship took him from me.
They each left on a merchant-man bound for lands unknown.
And I am left to walk the beach until they come back home, Until they come back home.
For one went east and one went west, O tell me seashell do,
Which one do I love the best? The green-eyed or the blue?
Which one do I love the best? The green-eyed or the blue?
