Grey Stone Lyrics by Emily Portman

The Glamoury

2010

I find the pools in the hidden places
I'm not scared of the sea faces
(being my mother's daughter)
I choose a smooth grey skimming stone
Watch it vanish into the foam
And dive into the water
(dive into the water)
My mother says she's far from home
(how she sighs, how she cries)
She longs to be a skimming stone
(and vanish in the water)
How she'd dip and dive away
Into the green and silver-grey
Her eyes are on the water
(her eyes are on the water)
When the moon is dark she slips away
(how she sighs, how she cries)
She sings to the blue and silver-grey
(ripples on the water)
She walks down to the coal-black sand
Seals appear and kiss her hand
Her eyes are made of water
(her eyes are made of water)
Oh mother, mother, look what I found
(soft and silky silver-grey)
Oh mother, mother, look what I found
(a present from your daughter)
She took the skin and slipped inside
How she sighed, how she cried
Then dived into the water
(dived into the water)
(i-un-dah, i-un-dah, i-un-dor, i-un-dor, i-un-dah, i-un-dah, oh-dah-dah, oh-dah-dah
I-un-dah, i-un-dor, i-un-dor, i-un-dah, oh-dah-dah)
I find the pools in the hidden places
I see her in the salt sea faces
I choose a smooth grey skimming stone
Watch it vanish into the foam
My eyes are made of water
