[Verse 1]

E
The skeleton goes twirling in the sea
A
For having been disobeyed to people
D
The father had drowned his daughter's body
A
No one could remember why exactly
E
A lost fisherman thought he'd caught big fish
A
The hanging bones were instead nightmarish

He rushed back home with her caught in his line
A
Lit a fire which appeased his panic
G                     D
Kind ladies untangled her from her klink
A
To keep her warm, cloaked her with furs and hides
G                     D
Starting to soften in the warm silence
A
Fell asleep, untempted by her presence

[Verse 3]

E
He was dreaming, a tear formed in his eyes
A
She saw it shine, suddenly felt thirsty
  D
Unfurled her bones, brought her mouth to the tear
A
She drank and drank, it flowed like a river
E
Plunged her hand in and gently pulled his heart
A
Her four-fold drum that would follow her prayer

[Verse 4]

N.C.
They woke up all entwined, breath against breath
N.C.
Got up to live by the sea where they were fed
N.C.
By the ocean
N.C.
Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh
N.C.
Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh
N.C.
No, they are not afraid, death has its place
N.C.
In order to create, in order to live
N.C.
Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh
N.C.
Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh
N.C.
Wooh, wooh, wooh, wooh

[Verse 5]

G                             D
She'd beat the drum and would sing for new flesh
A
Sing for hair, eyes, chubby hands, legs, and breasts
G                      D
All that a woman needs would then surface
A
She sang some more to bear the sleeping child
G                         D
Slipped in back with him, new skin against skin
A
Returned the heart, the magnificent drum
