lyrics

Sailor sailor, you can’t escape the yearning
Once the siren, she has claimed you
Sailor sailor, she’ll get beneath your skin
And her rhythms ever pounding in your blood

You cannot let yourself give in
Your heart will never lead you home again
But there’s the burning in your mind
The need to quench your soul upon her wine

She will take you for everything you’ve got
And she’ll lead you to your ruin on the rocks

It’s a siren moon and the winds they wail
You ride full sail and free
But your heart rings with every song she sings
Now you’re lost forever to the sea

It’s a siren moon and the tide is high
Your spirit’s flying free
You never knew she had her claim on you
Now you’re lost forever to the sea

Sailor sailor, you’ve wasted half your life away
Following her countenance so fair
Your ships, your soul are cast away
For a glimpse of her shining seaweed hair

Like sticky poison in your mind
The madness of her music drives you blind
Ensnares you in her wicked dance
Oh sailor, you never had a chance

Was her music worth everything you gave
Was the beauty of her song worth a life enslaved

It’s a siren moon and the winds they wail
You ride full sail and free
But your heart rings with every song she sings
Now you’re lost forever to the sea

It’s a siren moon and the tide is high
Your spirit’s flying free
You never knew she had her claim on you
Now you’re lost forever to the sea

Carry me, beyond the endless sea
where the music haunts, and the siren screams…
