Marrying The Sea / Til Death Do Us Part - Declan O'Rourke

Well I stood before the ocean

In the middle of the night

Cause I loved her so I asked her

Then if she would be my wife

And then I closed my eyes and waited

And I listened for an answer

Until she kissed my feet and whispered

'I could not give you my hand sir

Then as she walked me up and down along the shore

She said You're far too young to marry me

For I am old as old can be

And I've been wed with many men

But for all my love I've far outlived them all

So I went to her the next night

All a-merried up with wine

And I asked her for her long blue hand

For to hold hers there in mine

And then once again I waited and I listened for a while

Until I heard her voice come crashing in the waves

That broke all round for miles and miles

She said How could I place my trust in thee

When I am bound and you are free

See so many men have took my hand

And so many of them left me for the land

There were fishermen whalers seamen and sailors

But for all it's just me and the moon

And for each star above me ten more have loved me

How could it be different with you

So when it was quiet on the third night I said

My life is in your hands

You can keep me for the time I have

Or I'll lie here on the sand

And it was quiet on the third night

As I took off my shoes

But as I walked into her arms she said

Sure what have I to lose
