Tie me up against the mast and shield the sunlight from my eyes 
For I no longer can resist the haunting of her cries 
They call me from the jagged rock 
It was the sweetest melody 
Like gold and honey dripping from the fingertips of God 
I feel the wind against my face from the flapping of her wings 
I feel the black and silky tenderness all choking me 

But I can almost taste happiness 
It's such a long way off 
But I can almost feel your embrace 
Above the siren's call 

Now it's not beautiful or pure 
But it exists beyond the shore 
It [bad word] to be heard above the screeching of her call 
Beneath my feet [bad word] 
hundred demons clambering 
They chase away my harmony and make love afraid to call 
They grow forever restless and as our ship sets out to sea no 
They will not be silenced 
Never for you or me 

And I've een a hint of it 
This happiness 
This bliss 
Just knowing it exists I know that I must try 
And I've caught a glimpse of it 
One moment just one kiss 
From the corner of my eye 
Of better days gone by.
