Red Molly - Oh My Michael When I was younger I prayed to the sea to bring my fisherman further to me If I were an angel I'd fly out to him and like a fisherman bring him back in When I was older I sang to the wind to find me a lover and send his boat in if I were a sirene I'd call him a-shore and on the rocks I'd be lonely no more Oh my Michael - oh my love won't you sing me a song of the sea a true lover's not on your finger so fair sing a song of your love for me Now that we are married I dream of the days We'll run in the fields and we'll swim in the waves If I were a sear I'd know it for sure if you would always come right back to the shore Oh my Michael - oh my love won't you sing me a song of the sea a true lover's not on your finger so fair sing a song of your love for me This is a prayer and a song and a dream Woven in gold like a young sailors ring if I was a jeweler I'd weave it so fine and there'd be no space between your heart and mine Oh my Michael - oh my love won't you sing me a song of the sea a true lover's not on your finger so fair sing a song of your love for me sing a song of your love for me Hope you enjoy playing this beautiful song. Fingerpicking it is the best option in my opinion but strumming works as well :-) The text is pretty accurate but there might be a slip or two as i had to listen to it from the album - any corrections are welcome ;-)
