'Twas the wind and the waves and the echoes all round

I think I always read the sea as a daemon lover.

Fisher Boy
(Eliza Carthy & the Kings of Calicutt) 

      Oh, the bonny fisher boy  
      That brings the fishes from the sea
      Oh, the bonny fisher boy
      The fisher boy got hold of me

On Bamboroughshire's rocky shore
Just as you enter Boumer Raw
There lives the bonny fisher boy
The fisher boy that beats them all

      Oh, the bonny fisher boy  
      That brings the fishes from the sea
      Oh, the bonny fisher boy
      The fisher boy got hold of me

My mother sent me out one day
To gather cockles from the sea
Before I had been long away
The fisher boy fell in with me

A sailor I will never marry
Nor soldier for he's got no brass
But I will have a fisher boy
Because I am a fisher's lass

      Oh, the bonny fisher boy  
      That brings the fishes from the sea
      Oh, the bonny fisher boy
      The fisher boy got hold of me

On Bamboroughshire's rocky shore
Just as you enter Boumer Raw
There lives the bonny fisher boy
The fisher boy that beats them all

Hey, have you ever read Thieves and Kings? Talking about Girl Genius made me think of it. I think you would definitely like the books. The artist's site is here: http://www.iboxpublishing.com/
