Long distance callin' in the middle of a rainy night So much static, hardly knew your voice An' you've been cryin', 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 callin' 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 Crashin' over the wreckage of all the sailor's broken hearts
Musta met you when we were livin' in another time Had nothin' but the jealous gods to point our way When men were sailors and a woman was a rocky shore Wailin' like a siren leadin' 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 callin' 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 dancin' on the water, drownin' in your yellow hair
