To a hut, shivering on the shore
A young man from town
By fishmonger's daughter enthralled
He sits there and sings to her
About what blind tomorrows bring
About their life together
While nets are made, waves crash and gulls sing
And so they sit there together
And when the sky turns red
She goes home to sleep
The song's echo breaks on the rocky bed
Fishmonger's daughter, coral seas' water
Flows in you, the deepest blue
In the moonlight dim, a pearl skin
Velvet touch, keeper's clutch
Fishmonger's daughter, coral seas' water
Flows in you, the deepest blue
In the moonlight dim, a pearl skin
Velvet touch, keeper's clutch
Once, he didn't find her on the shore
Doors broken and a boat missing
Gulls laugh and waves roar
The end of everything, of all being
He sits in the sand and the wind is blowing
With head in his hands he sings a lament
About them, to the waning Sun sailing
About the tomorrows that won't be spent
Fishmonger's daughter, coral seas' water
Flows in you, the deepest blue
In the moonlight dim, a pearl skin
Velvet touch, keeper's clutch
Fishmonger's daughter, coral seas' water
Flows in you, the deepest blue
In the moonlight dim, a pearl skin
Velvet touch, keeper's clutch
