Bitter for Ulysses

from Fear No Faerie Voices by Eilis Phillips

/

lyrics

A clarion call took his friends, they say the sea ties up all loose ends,
it calls him now in his dreams, he thinks

Cover your ears, he thinks, cover your ears, but she sings

Oh you are my desire, burning like star fire, oh you are.

Wet wood creaks in the dark, too wet under foot to light a spark
there's rolling fog away starboard

He thinks, cover your ears, he thinks, cover your ears,
but she sings,

Oh you are my desire, burning like star fire, oh you are.

Not a sinner on deck, the wood under his hands is wet,
but the sea has her face

He thinks, cover your eyes, he thinks, let go of the side,
as they sing

Oh you are my desire, burning like star fire, oh you are.

A clarion call took his friends, they say the sea ties up all loose ends.
