Tori Amos
Selkie
[Verse 1]
Selkie unzips her skin
Finally determined
Through a window in the dark
There he sits all alone

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting on
The love of my life to find
He's been waiting on
His selkie to come back

[Chorus]
He said, "I know these shores are not like yours but
Will you make your home in my arms?"

[Verse 2]
Selkie battled tide and wave
Just to gaze upon his face
Hiding behind rocks to learn
If he found a new love

[Bridge]
Lorelei sings the song
For lovers who were torn apart
Then left brokenhearted
Lorelei hears the cry
Of lovers that the sea of fate
Had separated
[Verse 3]
Selkie puts her hand in his
He knows the gift she gives
There inside his cabinet
Folded safe, her seal skin

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting on
The love of my life to find
He's been waiting on
His Selkie to come back

[Chorus]
He said, "I know these shores are not like yours but
Will you make your home in my arms?"
