lyrics

never so far from the sea
never before in my short life have I been so far from the sea

My lover he's a mountain man
he took a mermaid for his bride
and even though I love this man
I am still afraid of heights
I pass the days as best I can
sleep in the shower every night

never so far from the sea
never before in my short life have I been so far from the sea

See my lover he's a mountain man
water never was his home
so I chose staying high and dry with him
over swimming on alone
and this is why I'm trapped here
in this land of wood and stone

never so far from the sea
never before in my short life have I been so far from the sea

i hurl myself into the bathtub
and sprinke salt onto my skin
and I put up with endless walking
when all I want to do is swim
and noone seems to understand
the predicament I'm in

never so far from the sea
never before in my short life have I been so far from the sea

my grandmother was a siren
she taught me how to misbehave
my grandfather was a sailor
if he could see me in this place
he would roll his eyes at me
from beyond his watery grave

and the ocean's my mother
I left her for my lover
like mother like daughter they say
but she was never love's prey

'cause the ocean is noboby's wife
she may spit you out or eat you alive
the ocean is noboby's bitch
she may embrace you or drown you
and you'll never know which

never so far from the sea
never before in my short life have I been so far from the sea

Matt Sage summed up her music in Nightshift Magazine as “totally unique and really quite wonderful, conjuring up a spookily quaint world of monsters,
mermaids, spiders and murdered ex-lovers. And it’s impossible not to sing along.”
