Siren

My silver tongue is rusted

So let me have a try or two

To find the words that you deserve

It isn't easy, love

I live wrapped in shadows of used-to-be

And could-have-been

And all the ways I’ve failed you

There are a lot of things I meant to tell you

Before you left

A lot of sights you should have seen

You could come back, you know

I’ll say it like a promise

But we both know it’s a lie:

Come swim with me in the wine-dark sea

And this time I won’t change my mind
