Sailor to a Siren

Long distance callin'

In the middle of a rainy night

So much static, hardly knew your voice

An' you've been cryin'

Want me to love you like I did before

Girl when it comes to you

You know I've got no choice

You put a storm inside me

I wanna head for a safer harbor

They all tell me I should give you up

But no man coulda tried any harder

Feels like an odyssey

That's never gonna reach an end

Every time I hear you callin' me

Just wanna feel you in my arms again

Like a sailor to a siren, like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me

But I run to you just the same

Like a sailor to a siren

Nothing's gonna keep us apart

Crashin' over the wreckage of

All the sailor's broken hearts

Musta met you when we were livin' in another time

Had nothin' but the jealous gods to point our way

When men were sailors and a woman was a rocky shore

Wailin' like a siren leadin' him astray

I got another woman and

I know you got another man

They all tell me I should give you up

But I don't think that any mortal can

Feels like an odyssey

That's never gonna reach an end

Every time I hear you callin' to me

Just wanna feel you in my arms again

Like a sailor to a siren, like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me

But I run to you just the same

Like a sailor to a siren

Nothing's gonna keep us apart

Crashin' over the wreckage of

All the sailor's broken hearts

Gonna abandon ship, steal you from the cliff

Take you to a place where

The gods can't find us no more

Let the sailors listen to the sirens if they dare

Gonna be dancin' on the water

Drownin' in your yellow hair

Like a sailor to a siren, like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me

But I run to you just the same

Like a sailor to a siren

Nothing's gonna keep us apart

Crashin' over the wreckage of

All the sailor's broken hearts
