Seal Lullaby
Soothing Waves of Comfort: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Shawn Colvin's Seal Lullaby
Lyrics
Oh hush thee, my baby
Comfort and quiet, my baby
The night is behind us
The night has passed
And black are the waters that sparkled so green
The once lively waters now appear dark
The moon or the cold looks downward to find
The moon, symbolic of coldness, observes from above
At rest in the hollow that wrestle between
Rest peacefully in the hollow space amid struggles
Where pillow meet pillow
Where pillows meet, expressing unity
Then soft be thy prayer
Pray softly as you lay down
A weary beat flipper
A tired flipper, a weary heart
Is curled at thy knees
Curled up at your knees, seeking solace
The storm shall not wake thee
The storm won't disturb your peace
Nor shark overtake thee
No danger, represented by a shark, will catch up with you
Asleep in the arms of this slow swinging sea
Peaceful sleep embraced by the gentle rocking of the sea
Where pillow meet pillow
Where pillows meet, repeating the theme of unity
Then soft be thy prayer
Pray softly, a continuation of the comforting tone
A weary beat flipper
A tired flipper, echoing weariness
Is curled at thy knees
Curled up at your knees, seeking protection
The storm shall not wake thee
The storm won't disrupt your peace
Nor shark overtake thee
No threat, represented by a shark, will catch up with you
Asleep in the arms of this slow swinging sea
Deep, serene sleep in the cradle of the calm sea
