_ _ Watch the ocean rolling _ in, _ _ _ _ _
moonlight dripping _ _ off _ [C] waves _ _ _ _ _ _ along the [E] _ _ base. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ Like a mirror between the worlds, _ _ _ _ catch the reflection _ _ of a star.
But _ _ _ it slips through my [E] _ _ fingers, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] then out of the waters, from out of the waves,
[C] two eyes are looking at _ me.
Oh, _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ I wanna go to the sea _ [G] _
again.
[D] And oh, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ where the selkies dance and I [D] don't feel _ alone. _ _

_ _ _ Water dripping from flowing hair, _ _ _ _ white horses _ gallop [D] on the shore.
[C] _ _ _
_ _ _ Then canter _ [E] once more, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ leave your skin upon the beach, _
_ _ _ _ free your mind and arms [C] with me, _ _ _ _ _ within [E] the sea. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I [Am] turn back to look at the places I know, but [C] my selkie woman calls to me,
_ and I [D] go. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ I wanna go to the sea _ [G] _
again.

_ _ So I run into the waves, _ _ _ _ where my selkie is waiting for me, _ _ _
_ _ _ and together [E] we _ swim. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ She takes me into her world, _ _ where I am [D] her king and she is my [C] queen. _ _
_ _ _ I have always [E] lived here. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] Now what could wake me from out of this sleep?
Could [C] that be the dawning sun?
_ No, _ [D] no, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ I wanna go to the sea _ [G] again.
[D] And oh, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ where the selkies dance and I [D] don't feel _ alone. _ _
