Full Fathom Five     Credits: Méav; lyrics by William Shakespeare     Appears On: Silver Sea     Language: English

Lyrics:

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes

Full fathom five thy father lies
Of his bones are coral made
Those are pearls that were his eyes
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange, rich and strange
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
Hark, now I hear them, ding-dong, bell

Ding-dong, bell...
