Sailor to Siren

This tenderness comes as a surprise

Drinking where the riverbed was dry

Trees in the wind trembling with love

Mad morning light drew you out the door

Mama didn't need you anymore

She pointed at night, but you saw the stars

Brace yourself and nestle into me

Bare it all like falling autumn leaves

You don't even know me that well

Now every blossom's ready to explode

Rooted in the cracks along the road

The world is a dream that wiggled free

Wild, distant water showed me where to run

Papa let me know I'm not enough

He took out the life, left me the hole

Are you the sailor or the siren in the tide?

Trusts a tiny ocean and besides

You don't even know me that well

Your song is warm and coming through the wall

Hearts are thrown to strangers after all

You don't even know me that well
