Love Inside

    Love inside a cockle shell,
    From the sea in which we dwell,
    Won't you wash upon my shore
    Once more?

    Love inside a copper bell,
    Ring aloud so we can tell
    The keeper opens up the door
    Once more.

    Love inside in love I fell.
    Without love is surely hell.
    Into my body let your love now pour
    Once more.
