lyrics

Day after day
Day after day
Day after day
Just like a flower opening

Nothing has ever brought me so much happiness
Nothing ever caused me so much pain

It’s beyond my comprehension
Such a beautiful creation

When I came back from the sea,
She was silent,
Adrift in another world,
Enclosed in a shell.

Nothing has ever caused me so much pain.

Then I heard Padeen whispering,
Holding her and whispering
the steady whisper of the sea in the shell

In his village in County Kerry, he said,
such children are said to be
touched by the lainhai shee
and you hold them and whisper
whisper and hold them
to bring them out of their shell

Into this world rather than another

Sure, he has the gift.
When I came back again
she was with us entirely
a darling, a blessing
a bud that had opened
Into this world.
