My neighbor had written a book and I thought I would write a song for the book.
Lyrics
On an Island out at sea
Far away from you and me
Solo the seal sings out his songs of grace
The music from the ocean deep
Way down where the mermaids sleep
Echoes the rhythm of the rolling sea
On the Island of Eynhallow
Solo the seal from his rocky place
Sings of love with true emotion
Sings of love from the seas embrace
Solo the seal swimming one day
Around the Island just to play
Met Tom the boatman a man from Rousay
They played and sang an old sea song
The mermaids chorus sang along
Till the evening light was nearly gone
On the Island of Eynhallow
Solo the seal from his rocky place
Sings of love with true emotion
Sings of love from the seas embrace
Instrumental
Solo the seal sang it's time to go
Back home where the currents flow
He said good night to his friend from Rousay
On the Island of Eynhallow
Solo the seal from his rocky place
Sings of love with true emotion
Sings of love from the seas embrace
