Lyrics Sailor to Siren - Jesca Hoop, Iron & Wine

Sailor to Siren

This tenderness comes as a surprise
Drinking where the riverbed was dry
Trees in the wind trembling with love
That morning light drew you out the door
Mama didn’t need you anymore
She pointed in night but you saw the stars
Brace yourself and nestle into me
Bear it all like falling autumn leaves
You don’t even know me that well
Now every blossom’s ready to explode
Rooted in the cracks along the road
The world is a dream that we could freeze
While distant water shows me where to run
Papa let me know I’m not enough
Took out the life left me the hope
You sailor or the siren in the tide
Trust the tiny ocean and besides
You don’t even know me that well
Your song is warm and coming through the wall
Hearts are only strangers after all
You don’t even know me that well
