silver roses
looking for my sister
all on the maiden way
glass under starlight
ice across the bay
silver roses
worn around her wrist
silver roses
hard to resist
singing songs
to catch many a fisherman by his line
merry she was
below the waves
and in the brine
looking for my sister
upon the moonlit stair
the wild, wild ocean
the waving of her hair
singing songs
to catch many a fisherman by his line
all the songs
the songs that saved my life
silver roses
floating on the Sea
silver roses
for my sister and me.

haven't picked my guitar in ages - but this is what happens when you listen to too much Incredible String Band whilst delirious with flu - you start making up odd 'folk' type songs.
this one has a touch of the Selkie in it - so it's for Sibilla Luna - where e're etc.
