Gilbert Rasmussen - Sirens

Picture this, I'm a lonely little man
Sat here on this boat, pen and paper in hand
I don't have a compass; I don't know where I may land
I hope I don't end up on some garden path

The storms are rough, but I know I'll be safe
The sky at night helps me to get through the next day
The ship's mast broke, now I'm floating away
Into the night I go, as I lower my head

I fall asleep, and drift out to sea
Waking up in the middle of a dream
In the moonlight, I see you appear next to me
Your body glows purple, and your eyes strike me blue
You lead me towards the stars, I'd be lost without you

As the starlight fades, the sea pulls you below
So now I wait until the night when you are
Freed from the undertow
And every second that we're together makes
Me feel a little better, and I
Really could see us being together forever

But now there's land on the horizon
And it makes me want to cry because
I thought I Knew what I wanted, but
All I hear are sirens
Mermaid lover, I'm leaving behind the
Catch of a lifetime, so I
Hope that I find what I'm looking for in Texas

I've woken up, and I've moved onto land
It's been awhile since I've seen you waiting in the sand
Now the moonlight only brings the pain of what used to be
Of when your body glowed purple and
Your eyes struck me blue
You led me to the stars, I will always love you

My sweet siren, remember this tune
When there's no more scales on the beach
No more boats on the sea
I'll never forget you, you've Become a part of me, so
We'll have to cherish the nights we have
Under blue moons
