The Siren's Call
Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyesFor I no longer can resist the haunting of her criesThey call me from the jagged rockIt was the sweetest melodyLike gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of GodI feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wingsI feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me
But I can almost taste happinessIt's such a long way offBut I can almost feel your embraceAbove the siren's call
Now it's not beautiful or pureBut it exists beyond the shoreIt struggles to be heard above the screeching of her callBeneath my feet a rumblingA hundred demons clamberingThey chase away my harmony and make love afraid to callThey grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea noThey will not be silencedNever for you or me
But I can almost taste happinessIt's such a long way offBut I can almost feel your embraceAbove the siren's call
And I've seen a hint of itThis happinessThis blissJust knowing it exists I know that I must tryAnd I've caught a glimpse of itOne moment just one kissFrom the corner of my eyeOf better days gone by
But I can almost taste happinessBut I can almost feel your embrace
