Eivør, Tides (LIVE)

Tides

Seven moonlit tears I cried

Tides collided in my eyes

Waves can wound a moonlit shore,

but they can’t hurt me anymore

Tangled in my mother’s hair

Currents combed my bones bare

Her currents swirled though my ribs

Spinning seaweed to selkie skin

Ashore I dance the sacred night

a surging wave of pale moonlight

a seal-spun daughter of the tides

Never again a captive bride
