Water Creature by John Bauer, 1977
The music enticed me
Nearer to the brown-haired maiden of the warm eyes
And she prayed to the King of Heaven
"Protect my love on the high seas"
Her heart was breaking with love
When I took her by the hand
"Wipe your eyes, your love is safe
I have returned to you from the high seas."Tha Mo Ghaol Air Aird A’ Chuain — Julie Fowlis
