Lyrics
Siren Song
I am a sailor, a man of the sea
White horses all around me and the stars my company
For they are there to guide me, to navigate my way
A gentle swell and all is well, from Tyne to Cromarty
So put your arms around me now
The night is dark, the siren's start to howl
Put a candle in the window and a kiss upon my leave
For I am bound to wander on the whitecaps and the breeze
And if I hear you calling, from the tiller to the bow
Then I will know I foundered on the way to the Fair Isle
So put your arms around me now
The night is dark, the siren's start to howl
So pull the anchor, loose the sail
And in the morning all is well
So put your arms around me now
The night is dark, the siren's start to howl
So pull the anchor, loose the sail
And in the morning all is well
For the storms of life are few
When I set my course by you.........by you
