lyrics

THE SILKE

White as milk, skin so fair
Eyes of blue, and long dark hair
You can love her beauty rare
But Silkes always find their skin
A Silke always finds her skin

She smiles at you in the morning light
And tells you she’s going to look
For seashells on the shore
But you know what she’s really looking for
A Silke always finds her skin

And so you follow her to make sure
She doesn’t find the object she desires
And though she’s given you her heart
She’s dreaming of the sea
And one day she’s going to leave
She’s going to swim away
‘Cause Silkes always find their skin
A Silke always finds her skin.
