Lyrics
Close your eyes against the sunlight
Where scarlet pools lie deep
Like the rivers and the lochs
Where the water spirits sleep
Beneath the rocks and stones
There's secrets that they keep
Down below black water
Below black water deep
Beneath the lowering sky
Where darkness reaches green
On a hill above a burn
A proud horse was seen
Wild were her eyes
Her flanks were strong and lean
Gazing down into black water
Into black water deep
Ride Kelpie ride
The wind is at your side
Take the wanderer on your back
Into the waters dive
Bide Kelpie bide
In the lake cold and wide
Dark shape shifter of the tides
Along the open road
A traveller came by
And by a darkling pool
The proud horse he did spy
Grazing all alone
With no one by her side
Down beside black water
Beside black water deep
His journey had been long
And the travel had been slow
And weary were his feet
With many miles to go
He thought to take the horse
And upon her back he'd go
And ride away from black water
From black water deep
Ride Kelpie ride
The wind is at your side
Take the wanderer on your back
Into the waters dive
Bide Kelpie bide
In the lake cold and wide
Dark shape shifter of the tides
So to the horse he came
With freedom on his mind
And holding to her mane
Upon her back he climbed
But kelpies won't be tamed
So never shall he ride
Away from black water
From black water deep
Her scream pierced the sky
Worse than a banshee's shriek
The mare reared up high
And sparks flew from her feet
And with a roar like thunder
From the bank did leap
Down into black water
Into black water deep
Ride Kelpie ride
The wind is at your side
Take the wanderer on your back
Into the waters dive
Bide Kelpie bide
In the lake cold and wide
Dark shape shifter of the tides
Ride Kelpie ride
The wind is at your side
Take the wanderer on your back
Into the waters dive
Bide Kelpie bide
In the lake cold and wide
Dark shape shifter of the tides
