Soul Cages
Tempest

On a wild Atlantic evenin' I saw sitting on a rock

A lovely Merrow maiden combing her green locks

Then across the water her glowing eyes met mine

Caught me up and from me said:

Marry me febrine.

Long into the squalling dark I held a pale green hand

Fortune had determined that I would leave dry land

Legend was that Merrow folk all love a stormy sea

Caught the souls of drowning men, never to set them free

Chorus:

She wore a cap of scarlet

And dove beneath the sea

I know that if I follow her

She'll never set me free

Through the grates of collarough she took me to her home

Fed me of the finest catch that through the waters roamed

All the golden treasures that slip down through the sea

Along the walls of aging souls, whispering to me

Chorus

Will you have a bit of wine, a drop to make you warm?

Merrows keep the very best, spoils of the storm

As my lover turned away I went down to my task

To lift the edge of every cage and free each soul at last

Chorus

I have kept the secret in our home of oyster shell

Now and then I free a soul that rises through the swell

Floundering children caper schooling the walls of green

The sky is deep the water where the bride has fished for me

Chorus

She wore a cap of scarlet

And dove beneath the sea

And now that I have followed her

I never will be free
