Verse 1
Here lie remains
of a ship that sailed
to close to the storm
capsized, grounded, washed-up, sounded
Chorus
I hear their voices, sirens
singing in the street
I thought they
might be calling
out for you, for
me
I hear their voices, sirens
calling out emergency
for you, for
me, for you, for
you, for you
for
you, for you, for
you, for me
Verse 2
Here lies the
body of a captain
foundered in the waves
collected by the sirens
Oh, wise
women of the sun
Oh, what have you done
save this frail one left by Poseidon
Chorus
I hear their voices, sirens
singing in the street
I thought they
might be calling
out for you, for
me
I hear their voices, sirens
calling out emergency
for you, for
me, for you, for
you, for you
for
you, for you, for
you, for
me
for
you, for you, for
you, for you
for
you, for you, for
me
Bridge
I realize the lights of
all retreating
cars shine red
I realize you will not
take back any
of those words you’ve said
what
did you
say?
what
did you
say?
why didn’t you stay?
Verse 3
Here lie
all the photographs
All that I remember
taken under, sent asunder
How I
drift through history, a
small Sargasso sea
rising, sinking, still I’m thinking
Chorus
I hear their voices, sirens
singing in the street
I thought they
might be calling
out for you, for
me
I hear their voices, sirens
calling out emergency
for you, for
me, for you, for
you, for you
for
you, for you, for
you, for
me
for
you, for you, for
you, for you
for
you, for you, for
me
