The birds rose, flocked and flew
Undine, you say you live for the sea
But I am at your silver shores
You simply cannot be.
But I am at your silver shores
You simply cannot be.
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for-
That's a crow.
No girl, no boy
today, tomorrow
no more.
The ocean held and took me,
The bodies clutched and cawed:
Undine, you say you live for the sea
But I am at your colder hands
You simply cannot be.
Two for joy
Three for a girl
The crow's died
The jay flew
down like a jaded arrow.
No silver, no gold,
no boy
today, tomorrow
no more.
today, tomorrow
no more.
