Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you see three candles in the winter
Been expecting you Undine of the Sea
The kindly ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea
Keep breathing girl
[Verse 2]
Got a bat visiting
On a break from teaching at William and Mary
You've asked his expertise
About the deal the ancient
Sea maids made with humanity
[Verse 3]
Warning the most precious thing
That we'll fight to save
The fate of our waves
With her blue satin crashing
[Verse 4]
If you see three candles in the winter
Been expecting you Undine of the Sea
The kindly ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea
Keep breathing girl
[Verse 5]
You say the bats are wise
And once had prophesied what
Fate if betrayed by human kind
Yes, dripped in mist sisters rise
Quietly from the fins and marshes
All for the love of our dearest friend
It now begins
[Verse 6]
If you see three candles in the winter
Been expecting you Undine of the Sea
The kindly ones are here with me
Undine of the Sea
The kindly ones are here with me
[Verse 7]
Undine of the Sea
Undine of the Sea
Undine of the Sea
Keep breathing girl
