Bat For Lashes Seal Jubilee Lyrics

Seal Jubilee Lyrics

The seals they cried in jubilee

The sharks they howled along with me

And birds they flew into the wind

The whale he roamed the lonely sea



And I dived into you

I dived into you

And on this ocean hue

'Cause I dived into you



The lighthouse dog lifted his brow

The crippled trees bent low to growl

And swans, they wrestled with lifetime's grasp

In hopefulness they nestled the past



Teachers and travelers made their mark

They dined and feasted on whale and shark

And so the ocean lost its depths

And boredom rained as the ocean wept



Birds they raised their young for dead

And ladies used feathery pillows for bed

And black snow came and black snow stayed

And froze the ocean out of love, out of love



I lay quiet next to you

Transformed a whole, transformed anew

No longer diving into

But lying quiet next to you
