Selkie - Tori Amos

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

Loralie sings the song for Lovers

who were torn apart then left broken hearted

Loralie hears the cry of Lovers

who the Sea of Fate has 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?»
