Siren
You're lost on a sea that you sailed on
now its cold and rough where you are
It's a harsh wind blowing
but I did not cause this storm you see
I've just been here, open-armed
invitingly
I've been alone on this sea for so long
I wanted to touch, I had to feel love
Before these waves took me under
But Aden you came to me in the dark
in the dark
and as gentle as a siren can be
I caught you and I held you down
Oh if the pink light of morning
would wash all the demons out of here
I could lie down on your ground
and pull my body near
But all the knots in my stomach are telling,
there's no where to rest,
there's no place to go,
and the shadows they keep on
with their shanty song
It's the darkest horse that's chasing me down
And the gods here have no care
where you go when you drown
I've been mistaken for something I'm not
for something I wished I could be
Pretty and fine,
I'd draw the line
at just singing soothingly
but I've been a liar
I have been ugly
I can be ugly
And we'll join the Venture and the Morning Star
Singing haul away my laddie-o...
You're lost on a sea that you sailed on
Now its cold and rough
