Lyrics
She's the siren of the sea
And she calls seductively
to the men who sail their tall ships
by the salty breeze
And she wishes on a star
That they won't make it very far
But as her voice goes sailing upon the waves
They crash and drown in their watery graves
Chorus
Siren of the Sea
Well I've heard her sing a time or two
Ask her once and she'll sing for you
She sings her songs so dangerously
As the men she loves fall into the dark and deep
Siren of the Sea, Siren of the Sea
With her hair that's spun of gold
And a heart that's grown stone cold
She knows that she must be what she must be..
As she stands on the rocky shore, wanting a life a something more
She sings her songs, seductively
As the men she loves fall into the dark and deep.
