Long distance calling, in the middle of a rainy night
So much static, hardly knew your voice
And you've been crying, want me to love you like I did before
Oh, when it comes to you, you know I've got no choice
You put a storm inside me
I wanna head for a safer harbour
They all tell me I should give you up
But no man could'a tried any harder
Feels like an odyssey
That's never gonna reach an end
Every time I hear you calling me
Just wanna feel you in my arms again
Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame
I know your love might be the death of me
But I run to you just the same
Like a sailor to a siren
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
Crashing over the wreckage
Of all the sailor's broken hearts
Must'a met you, when we were living in another time
Had nothing but the jealous gods to point our way
When men were sailors, and a woman was a rocky shore
Wailing like a siren, leading him astray
I've got another woman
And I know you've 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 calling to me
Just wanna feel you in my arms again
Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame
I know your love might be the death of me
But I run to you just the same
Like a sailor to a siren
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
Crashing over the wreckage
Of all the sailor's broken hearts
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 dancing on the water, drowning in your yellow hair
Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame
I know your love might be the death of me
But I run to you just the same
Like a sailor to a siren
Nothing's gonna keep us apart
Crashing over the wreckage
Of all the sailor's broken hearts
