Sailor To A Siren

(album: Bad Attitude - 1984)

Long distance calling in the middle of a rainy night
So much static, hardly knew your voice
An' you've been crying, 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 calling me, just wanna feel you in my arms again

[Chorus:]
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
Crashing over the wreckage of all the sailor's broken hearts

Musta met you when we were living in another time
Had nothing but the jealous gods to point our way
When men were sailors and a woman was a rocky shore
Wailing like a siren leading 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 calling to me, just wanna feel you in my arms again

[Chorus]

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 dancing on the water, drowning in your yellow hair

[Chorus]
