Sunset Siren Blues

She’s my sunset siren.

A sweet song in the crashing waves.

She’s my down south baby.

Her eyes, burnt honey, her lips, two open graves.

Oh, she can call me out to sea anytime.

I don’t care,

I’ll run, crawl, or climb.

Yeah, she’s just the kind of woman,

That you meet once in a lifetime.

Take it easy on me baby.

Take it easy on this old soul.

I’ve been waiting for you baby.

Waiting for you to fill, this heart-shaped hole.

Savor every second, she barely speaks a word.

You could get lost in her eyes, and it’s no surprise

When I tell you I can’t go without her.

Cause..

She’s my sunset siren.

Fireworks on the ocean tide.

She’s a storm chasin’ momma

Couldn’t escape even if I tried.

Oh, she can call me out to the waves anytime.

I don’t give a good god damn

If it takes my life.

Yeah, she’s just the kind of woman,

you might just try and make your wife.

Take it easy on me baby.

I’m just as lost as you.

I’ve been waiting for you baby.

Trying to drink away these sunset blues.

I still feel the heat of her body, the beat of her missing heart.

I think mine’s missing too baby, and it just might be all your fault.

Cause..

You’re my sunset siren baby

and there’s no place I’d rather be

Then drowning in your love

with your arms wrapped tight around me.
