Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes
|
For I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries
|
They call me from the jagged rock
|
It was the sweetest melody
|
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God
|
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings
|
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me
|
|
But I can almost taste happiness
|
It's such a long way off
|
But I can almost feel your embrace
|
Above the siren's call
|
Now it's not beautiful or pure
|
But it exists beyond the shore
|
It struggles to be heard above the screeching of her call
|
Beneath my feet a rumbling
|
A hundred demons clambering
|
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call
|
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea no
|
They will not be silenced
|
Never for you or me
|
|
But I can almost taste happiness
|
It's such a long way off
|
But I can almost feel your embrace
|
Above the siren's call
|
|
And I've seen a hint of it
|
This happiness
|
This bliss
|
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try
|
And I've caught a glimpse of it
|
One moment just one kiss
|
From the corner of my eye
|
Of better days gone by
|
|
But I can almost taste happiness
|
But I can almost feel you embrace
|
