Sirensong - The Cure

It could’ve been her golden hair

That turned my head

I didn’t look to stare

Like I was hypnotized

But I was fixed

On how she pointed slowly down

And low I sank

And still without a sound

The world was far away

And I was tricked

It could’ve been her silver skin

That drew me on

I didn’t mean to spin

Like I was mesmerised

But I was rapt

Without a name or memory

I waited there

Too scared to even breathe

She sang… she sang… she sang

She sang

Tell me you love me

And beg me to stay

She sang

Tell me you love me

Before it’s too late

She sang

«Give me your life

Or I must fly away

And you will never hear this song again

It could’ve been her crystal eyes

That made me stop

I didn’t want to sigh

Like I was stupefied

But I was thrown

And at that point of no return

My whole life hanging

On a single word

To be hers evermore

Or mine alone
