lady with the sitka spruce skin

from a cub and a den by the light and the dark

lyrics

there is a tree that grows in the sea
and its roots extend from my feet
its branches are a brilliant blue
but they only reach as far as you
they will follow you

i will buy wind from an old orkney widow
if only this calm air would blow
you and your sails towards me
oh how miserable this ocean can be
when i'm on my own
when no wind has blown

but in my longing
the seals amuse me so
they glimmer swiftly as on my pipes i blow
i will play for them til the sun does set
and reflect upon the water
the shadows of loneliness
they will follow me
they're always beside me
when i'm on my own
when no wind has blown

i can't find you
no i never could
