She holds her fur coat around her
Lantern in her handThe dawn was slowly rising
The gentle grey of the morning,
Brought a gentle touch to her cheeksWaves crashed on the rocky cliffs below
Swirling in a sight of welcome armsShe looked back at her home
There her children rested, snugged in their beds
Her husband laid comfortableIt tore her heart in two
If she left them, they will all wake without her
If she didn't, she would leave her birthright in the depths of the salty seasShe clung to the seal skin tightly
She wanted to be home, but as she looked back to the sea
The woman was unsure of where her home was
