Your Siren Song
Where did you go so long?
Did you lose the way?
I heard your siren song in far Advent Bay.
How did you use the time?
Did you make it pay?
I heard your siren song in far Quinte Bay.
When did you set a goal?
Did you kiln the clay?
I heard your siren song in far Walvis Bay.
Why did you fake true love?
Did you hold full sway?
I heard your siren song in far Ormoc Bay.
What did you give to gain?
Did you want to play?
I heard your siren song in far Glacier Bay.
Who did you fool to win?
Did you kill the prey?
I heard your siren song in far Turtle Bay.
