SIRENSHORES

I WAITED FOR YOU
BEHIND WAREHOUSE DOORS
BEHIND YOUR RIDDLED SERMON
THERE ON YOUR SIREN SHORES
I WAITED FOR YOU WHERE
MAIDENS PLAY WITH DESIRE
UNTIL THEY HAVE ALL
BEEN BURNED BY THE FIRE

I WAITED FOR YOU FOR WAITING
IS SO MUCH MORE THAN I CAN DO
YOUR LOVER IS ON YOUR DOORSTEP
WHILE THE JESTER MAKES LOVE WITH YOU
THIS IS WHAT EXALTS ME WITH KNIVES
THIS IS THE SUN ON A LONELY WITH WINGS
THIS IS THE REST OF OUR LIVES
THIS IS THE SONG A BROKEN KING BRINGS
AS HE IS TRYING TO BELIEVE
IT IS AS IT SHOULD BE
NOW

I WAITED FOR YOU IN GRAVEYARD ROOMS
I WATCH OVER YOU WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING
I WADED FOR YOU THROUGH THE TEARS OF JUDAS
CAUSE YOUR GATE IS LOCKED AND IT IS BLEEDING

WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME
YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE
AND NOTHING CAN HARM YOU
WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME
YOUR SCEPTER IS HIDDEN
BUT YOUR POWER IS OBVIOUS
DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS
AS IT SHOULD BE
NOW

PERHAPS I SHOULD GO NOW
OR GROW NOW OR BREAK
INTO A STEP IN THE DANCE
THAT YOU COULD NOT TAKE
THE WISH IS THE APPLE
YOUR SKIN IS THE SNAKE
HERE I AM LAID BARE AGAIN
BY THE LADY OF THE LAKE

AND YOU SO PRICELESS
AND PRECIOUS AND FAKE
AND YOU SO PERFECTLY REAL
NOT EVEN A PROPHET COULD
EVER GUESS HOW YOU FEEL
AND HERE I AM STRETCHED
ON ETERNITYS WHEEL
TRYING TO BELIEVE

THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
IF YOU CHOOSE TO LOOK AT ME THAT WAY
THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
THOUGH I NEVER MET ANYONE
WHO IS OLD ENOUGH TO SAY
THAT THEY KNOW IT IS
AS IT SHOULD BE

SO WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME
HOW DID THEY TELL YOU
WHY DID YOU BELIEVE IN THEM
WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME
I HAVE CAUGHT YOUR ARROWS
BUT I COULD NOT FREE THEM
DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW
