F                          CI'm a fishing girl, just a lonely girl
            F               CThe town in which I live is breaking water
          F                  CI told my mother, my violent brother
         F                       GAll they give to me is reason to leave

        F                      CImagine my surprise, a pair of ancient eyes
           F              CSet into a face as old as land
             Dm                       AmHe stands in front of me, he came out of the sea
           F                           GHe says it hurts his skin to touch the sand

               F                        CHe crawls back into the sea, the air is salty and sweet
           F                CA backward glance by way of invitation
       Dm                             AmI'm in now up to my knees, the air is salty and sweet
              F                    C GI'll leave my dress by way of explanation

       F                                     CMy man don't care for clothes, the things he does not own
           F                           CThey never trouble him, never give him grief
              Dm                       Amcause he's as soft as silk, as pure as baby milk
           F                     GAnd harder than earth that he so scorns


               F                        CHe crawls back into the sea, the air is salty and sweet
           F                CA backward glance by way of invitation
       Dm                             AmI'm in now up to my knees, the air is salty and sweet
              F                    C GI'll leave my dress by way of explanation
