My Roots Lyrics

My roots, are in the sea, creels tethered on the bed out in the lea

My roots run deep, I need the swell pulling me to get to sleep

And I know, I'm gone, to long

You come out to see me from the sand

But to me it just feels wrong

Among the others on the land

Your roots, are in the earth, gulls gather round your plow as you turn the turf

Your roots, run deep, you've sown the seed for the sweet barley that you reap

And I know, I'm gone, to long

You come out to see me from the sand

But to me it just feels wrong

Among the others on the land

Their roots, lie with you, by your side ever watching all you do

Their roots, run deep, I only hope they dream of me when they sleep

And I know, I'm gone, to long

You come out to see me from the sand

But to me it just feels wrong

Among the others on the land
