Selkie

Selkie unzips her skin, finally determined Through a window in the dark, there he sits all alone I've been waiting on the love of my life to find He's been waiting on his selkie to come back He said, I know these shores are not like yours But will you make your home in my arms? Selkie battled tide and wave just to gaze upon his face Hiding behind rocks to learn if he found a new love Lorelei sings the song for lovers who were torn apart then left broken-hearted Lorelei hears the cry of lovers that the sea of fate had separated Selkie puts her hand in his, he knows the gift she gives There inside his cabinet, folded safe her seal skin I've been waiting on the love of my life to find He's been waiting on his selkie to come back He said I know these shores are not like yours But will you make your home in my arms? --- Selkie - Tori Amos
