Lyrics
Chorus
Come to us, we’ve waited so long for you
Every day we’ll make a new song for you
Come, come to us we love you so
Leave behind the world and it’s fretting
And we will give you rest and forgetting
So sang the Sirens ages and ages ago
Chorus
Come to us, we’ve waited so long for you
We’ll make life a beautiful song for you
Come, come to us we love you so
Leave behind the world and it’s fretting
And we will give you rest and forgetting
So sang the Sirens ages and ages ago
Chorus
Come to us, we’ve waited so long for you
We’ll make life one beautiful song for you
Come, come to us we love you so
That’s the song the Sirens will sing you
And if you hark to shipwreck they’ll bring you
Just as they used to ages and ages ago
Chorus
Come to us, we’ve waited so long for you
We’ll make life a beautiful song for you
Come, come to us we love you so
Leave behind the world and it’s fretting
And we will give you rest and forgetting
So sang the Sirens ages and ages ago
