Sailor to Siren

This tenderness comes as a surprise Drinking where the riverbed was dry Trees in the wind trembling with love Mad morning light drew you out the door Mama didn't need you anymore She pointed at night but you saw the stars Brace yourself and nestle into me Bear it all like fallen autumn leaves You don't even know me that well Now every blossom's ready to explode Rooted in the cracks along the road The world is a dream that wiggled free Wild distant water showed me where to run Papa let me know I'm not enough He took out the life and left me the hole Are you the sailor or the siren in the tide Trusts a tiny ocean and besides You don't even know me that well Your song is warm and coming through the wall Hearts are thrown to strangers after all You don't even know me that well
