Sirens from Harbour by Kate Power & Steve Einhorn

SIRENS
Kate Power


Candlelight in the window, burning brighter than a holy wick glow
Lead my boat into safe harbour, take me through these rocky waters

Stormy weather winds blow, and toss me off far from my destination
Folding me in blinding weather,
I’m in your hands, I’m barely bound together

I’m blowing in from deep water, I’m blowing in from sea
And I’m holding my eye on the beacon.
Bring me in.

Sirens sound in the wind, or is it the bell in the buoy moaning?
There, I hear it again
I’m coming about, I’m rowing

Like a gusty gull in the air, skimming top of the deepest ocean
Stirring fish in salty water, chasing fin from seal to otter

I’m blowing in from deep water, I’m blowing in from sea.
Won’t you hold me in your line of vision?
Bring me in.
Sirens sound in the wind, or is it the bell in the buoy moaning?
There, I hear it again
I’m coming about, I’m rowing
