Sailor to Siren

Sailor to Siren - Sam Beam/Jesca Hoop/Iron & Wine

This tenderness comes as a surprise

Drinking where the riverbed was dry

Trees in the wind trembling with love

That morning light drew you out the door

Mama didn't need you anymore

She pointed in night but you saw the stars

Brace yourself and nestle into me

Bear it all like falling 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 we could freeze

While distant water shows me where to run

Papa let me know I'm not enough

Took out the life left me the hope

You sailor or the siren in the tide

Trust the tiny ocean and besides

You don't even know me that well

Your song is warm and coming through the wall

Hearts are only strangers after all

You don't even know me that well
