Seaweed Seller

Do you know the girl they call the seaweed seller
They say that she wanders through these streets
With a little limp and a quiet manner
Velvet wrapped around her feet
And her eyes cannot see but they sparkle like opals
A deep forest green in a cavernous blue
Her hands are so soft as she feeds you your fortune
But baby, beware cause she don't sugarcoat

They say once you've tasted of her produce
You will never ever be the the same
You will feel your past slide from your shoulders
Leaving only future sins
And her eyes cannot see but they sparkle like opals
A deep forest green in a cavernous blue
Her hands are so soft as she feeds you your fortune
But baby, be warned cause she don't sugarcoat

If you walk the shore when the tide has fallen
Down the latter part beyond the grey wood docks
You will find her wading through the tide pools
Feeling her way round the rocks
And her eyes cannot see but they sparkle like opals
A deep forest green in a cavernous blue
Her hands are so soft as she feeds you your fortune
But baby, be warned cause she don't sugarcoat

My seaweed is green and black
It shines like a sea lions back
It slides down with velvet ease
Baby, you just swallow and you'll be free
