lyrics

Two Seas
Words and Music by Christopher Laughrey

We met at night where two seas joined,
Where the warm stream begins to flow.
Damp scents of pine, damp brack and brine,
A black sky scratched by Perseid's show,
Flesh and hair, thick with salt,
Green eyes yield all they know,
Red lightning south beyond the straits,
Two hearts became one soul.

Two decades beside spun round the sun.
Our sad hearts lost their way.
You hid in mountains cold and tall,
Why you would not say.
When you returned, I failed to see
The worth of one more day.
Our soul was one so fell undone,
To wait while two heats stray.

I remember emerald water,
Sea grass like fluid jade,
A hot embrace on evening wind,
The promises we made.
Flamingo tongues on purple fans
Turned pale beneath your touch.
The stream flowed on to a northern sea
To warm its icy clutch.

Tonight's wild gale drives snow across
The heat from dark Killary Bay.
It howls across the Twelve Bens and throws
Waves at Western Way.
But we rest safe in Tullycross,
Asleep in my arms you lay.
Our hearts aligned where two seas bind,
A soul in which to stay.
