A wife and five children who live in L.A.
They miss their dear daddy who's gone so far away
They still have his picture, it's hung on the wall
Now he's just an old hobo, asleep in the hall.
I have your picture hangin' on the wall
but it can't speak, or come to me when I call your name
I realize it's just a picture in a frame
No other sound is quite the same as your name
I keep your picture upon my wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
But don't you ask me to give it back
Although you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love, oh no, it's because...
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself,
Or find yourself afraid to see?
I snatch her whisper, like the wind through cedars
I see her face in every natural feature
Amidst the mist and sleepy hollows...
With glee deceiving me
No light nor reef
No unsinkable off romance keeps me
Safely from the stormy seas
Now drowning, resounding
Death-knells pound my dreams
Unthinkable to dredge through this
Listless and lonely winter freeze
I journey now on jewelled sands
Beneath the moon to Summerlands
To grace her lips with contraband
That blazed once in my veins...
"Once he hears to his heart's content, sails on, a wiser man.
We know all the pains that the Greeks and Trojans once endured
on the spreading plain of Troy when the gods willed it so—
all that comes to pass on the fertile earth, we know it all!"
- wikipedia entry for "Siren"
