Bat For Lashes lyrics : "Seal Jubilee"


The seals, they cried in jubilee
The sharks, they howled along with me

And birds, they flew into the wind
The whale, he roamed the lonely sea


And I dived into you
I dived into you
On this ocean hue

'Cause I dived into you

The lighthouse dog lifted his brow

The crippled trees bent low to growl
And swans, they wrestled with lifetime's grasp
In hopefullness 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

Out of love

I lay quiet, next to you

Transformed a whole
Transformed anew
No longer diving into

But lying quiet next
To you
