Sailor to a Siren

by Meat Loaf

Lyrics
Long distance calling in the middle
Of a rainy night

So much static hardly knew your voice

An' you've been crying
Want me to love you like I did before
Girl when it comes to you
You know I've got no choice

You put a storm inside me
I wanna head for a safer harbor

They all tell me I should give you up
But no man coulda tried any harder
Feels like an odyssey
That's never gonna reach an end

Every time I hear you calling me
Just wanna feel you in my arms again
Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me
But I run to you just the same

Like a sailor to a siren
Nothing's gonna keep us apart

Crashing over the wreckage
Of all the sailor's broken hearts

Musta met you when we were living in another time

Had nothing but the jealous gods to point our way

When men were sailors and a woman was a rocky shore

Wailin' like a siren leadin' him astray

I got another woman and I know you got another man
They all tell me I should give you up
But I don't think that any mortal can
Feels like an odyssey
That's never gonna reach an end

Every time I hear you calling to me
Just wanna feel you in my arms again
Like a sailor to a siren

Like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me
But I run to you just the same
Like a sailor to a siren nothing's gonna keep us apart

Crashin' over the wreckage of all the sailor's broken hearts

Gonna abandon ship steal you from the cliff

Take you to a place where the gods can't find us no more

Let the sailors listen to the sirens if they dare
Gonna be dancin' on the water drownin' in your yellow hair

Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me
But I run to you just the same

Like a sailor to a siren nothing's gonna keep us apart

Crashin' over the wreckage of all the sailor's broken hearts
Like a sailor to a siren
Like a moth to a flame

I know your love might be the death for me
But I run to you just the same
