Lyrics
Sailor To Siren (feat. Jesca Hoop)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Bear it all like fallen 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 and 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
