lyrics

My lady’s looking out to sea.
Wondering if that’s where she ought to be.
Voices are calling from far, far away
Will she go back to them or stay?

My lady’s looking back to land.
Wondering if that’s where to make a stand.
Her true love is waiting, wanting to know
Will she return to him or go.

Now that she’s found her skin
She can start up again
Choose where she’s wanting to begin.

I found her naked and afraid.
I barely understood a word that she said.
I fed her and tended her till one day she smiled.
I was already beguiled.

She grew to love me, I’m sure.
I gave my life freely to her.
I hoped that she would forget where she was from.
I always knew this day would come.

Now that she’s found her skin
She can start up again
Choose where she’s wanting to begin.

My lady’s looking out to sea.
My lady’s looking out to sea.
