Went down to the sea to watch the waves roll.
There in the mist, I saw the witches dance.
Their laughter rang free, their voices, so full,
Spoke of enchantment. Soon I was entranced.
The fire flickered as they moved around the ring.
I seemed to understand as I watched them dance and sing.
I still remember them, and to this very day
I hear the songs they sang.
I hear the songs they sang and played.
I went down to the sea to watch the waves roll.
There in the mist, I saw the witches dance.
They beckoned to me, "Come, sister in soul!
Join our enchantment. Come and take a chance."
I saw their faces, and I heard the words they said.
So much wisdom there, so much I'd thought was dead.
And when the morning came, like mist they slipped away,
But they will return.
I know they will return someday.
I go down to the sea to watch the waves roll.
I wait in the mist, to see the witches dance.
"Please come back to me, my sisters in soul,
Share your enchantment; let me take a chance."
And when they come again, they'll find me waiting there,
All hesitation gone, my calling true and clear.
And when the morning comes, I too will slip away.
I'll join the world they weave.
I'll join the world they weave someday!
I went down to the sea to watch the waves roll.
There in the mist, I saw the witches dance.
