Sirens Song



Siren"s Song

As waves crash
Against the shore
I send my love
A songs repoire

It drifts on the wind
To sing loves song
And hopes to land
Where it belongs

Come to me, Love
To seek your position
In passions embrace
Listen
Listen

It rides on the wind
In a tempests attempt
To find a home
In a hearts discontent

The needful cry
Of one that was lost
The hurtful lament
Of love starcrossed

It was meant to be
But was thwarted you see
And it went to die
In a place to survive

It only carries on
To reach the ears
Of lovers suicide
And their salty tears

Come to me Love
I'm waiting
Waiting
I left you too soon
Anticipating

The oblivion of
The sea's embrace
Not realizing their ghosts
Will pace
The sandy shore
In nights dark face
 
Come to me, Love
I'm waiting
Waiting
