OH, MY MICHAEL (written by Abbie Gardner and Jonathan Byrd)
When I was younger I prayed to the sea To bring my fisherman father 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 another and send his boat in If I were a siren I'd call him ashore And on the rocks I'd be lonely no more
CHORUS: Oh, my Michael, oh, my love Won't you sing me a song of the sea A true lover's knot on your finger so fair Sing a song of your love for me
Now that we're married and dream of the days We'll run in the fields and we'll swim in the waves If I were a seer I'd know it for sure If you would always come right back to the shore
CHORUS
This is a prayer and a song and a dream Woven in gold like a young sailor's ring If I were a jeweler I'd weave it so fine That there'd be no space between your heart and mine
