The Ballad of Covehead Harbour Lyrics

Timothy and Isabelle

They met one night when darkness fell

Along the rocky shoreline of the coast

Said Isabelle to Timothy

I'd die you know if you left me

When you are gone, I'm giving up my ghost

Oh my love if you should leave

I'll feed myself unto the sea

Poseidon take me under

As the brother of the thunder

I'd offer myself to the sky

But what goes up comes down they cry

And I've long lost the stairwell

To lead me down to Hades hell

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

But like the water he grew cold

It happens to some men I'm told

She woke up in December all alone

They found him laying on the rocks

His heartbeat ticked like broken clocks

As she called out to him upon the stones

They tell me you've been losing blood

But Timothy, I know they lied

Cos your veins are filled with salt water

And like the changing of the tide

An hour or two before dawn

Like the fleeing waves, you too were gone

My vampire of the shore

You drained me, left me wanting more

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

When Timothy left Isabelle

It left its mark, the stories tell

She cried out to the ocean on her knees

I promised all those moons ago

I'd inundate if he should go

And now he's gone, so let me rest in peace

Oh my love's deserted me

And left me staring at the sea

I'm going to join Poseidon

A man I can rely on

I've added my salt to the blue

In drops of tears I made for you

Instead of staying on my own

I'm off to swallow my way home

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you

Oh water

Push me over, pull me under, I've

Been waiting I've been waiting here for you
