Siren

Someone come and set me free
I've been here eternally
Singing to an endless sea
Sad and lovely birds are we

Sorry for the ones before
All those bones along my shore
Ghostly ships from days of yore
Strewn along the ocean floor

Sailor from the golden past
Heard my song as he sailed past
Tied himself unto the mast
Tangled in the spell we cast

Heroes, mendicants, and kings
Fold them in my downy wings
Whisper all my secret things
I am just a bird who sings

Someone come and set me free
I am not an oddity
Someone see the bird in me
Mariner come set me free
