Siren Soul

Never fall for a fisherman they warned
You'll spend your nights alone in the cold
But this was a love no distance could part
He gave her a ring and a piece of his heart

When the ship pulled away, he didn't look home
But he blew her a kiss and said, "don't feel alone"
"I'll be waiting my love", she called from the quay
Then the ship disappeared into the North Sea

Three nights a storm raged, rocked the boat two and fro
And on that last night the crew took a blow
When the bow hit the wave and it threw him astray
The skipper held on but it washed him away

"My love, my love!" he called out from the deep
Her heart will break when she wakes from her sleep
When she woke in the night from a frightening dream
His voice did she hear? With a deafening scream

She ran to the port with a heart that could burst
Tears cooled in the wind and she howled with a curse!
The sea called her name and invited her in
It said "come to me child, I will take you to him"

She surrendered her soul to the waves with a sin
Left her old shell behind, with a shanty to sing
She grew a fish tail and searched the great sea
In hope that he'd hear her love songs from the deep
