[Intro - distant female siren choir] Ah-ah-ah... Come to the shore... Sing one more... Ah-ah-ah... [Verse 1] After I left the island fire, I took my little boat to sea. Six songs tied up in the morning, and one old guitar beside me. The water shone like silver, the evening opened wide, then I heard a thousand voices calling from the other side. [Siren Choir] Come, come, come... sing with us tonight. Come, come, come... follow another light. [Verse 2] One voice sounded like heaven, one like midnight blues. One had thunder in her fingers, one had gold dust on her shoes. Every song became a doorway, every doorway called my name. And every beautiful temptation promised music, love and flame. [Chorus] Oh, sirens of Suno, how beautifully you sing. You can turn a little silence into almost anything. Oh, sirens of Suno, I hear you from afar. But if I follow every voice, I may forget my star. [Siren Choir] Stay, stay, stay... there is more to hear. Stay, stay, stay... another song is near. [Verse 3] I have heard some mighty singers, I have heard the young and strong. I have heard a woman’s sorrow turn her life into a song. And sometimes I want to answer, leave a word, a sign, a flame. But I know one small reply can pull me back into the game. [Chorus] Oh, sirens of Suno, how beautifully you sing. You can turn a little silence into almost anything. Oh, sirens of Suno, I do not turn away. I just have one small journey and a birthday song to make. [Siren Choir] Ah-ah-ah... one more melody... Ah-ah-ah... come back to the sea... [Verse 4] I do not tie myself to timber, I do not curse your shining sound. I just hold the thread inside me when your voices gather round. Not every lovely voice can be the road I choose. Sometimes a man must close his ears to keep the song he must not lose. [Bridge] So sing behind the waves, shine in the dark blue air. I will listen with a smile, but I cannot stay there. It is not a lack of kindness, it is not a lack of heart. It is only keeping faith with the song I came to start. [Siren Choir] Come, come, come... the night is warm and deep. Come, come, come... wake another dream. [Verse 5] So tonight I leave no comment, though your music shakes my hand. Some songs are best remembered without footprints in the sand. I sail on, my dear old friend, with the moon above the foam. Through the choir of shining voices, I keep steering toward home. [Final Chorus] Oh, sirens of Suno, sing as sweetly as you can. Your voices on the water still help guide this aging man. Oh, sirens of Suno, I thank you from my soul. I am not running from your beauty, I am keeping to my goal. [Outro - lead voice with siren choir answering] And so the fifth song passes through the silver and the blue. With the sirens singing softly, and one old heart sailing through. [Siren Choir - fading] Come, come, come... sing one more... Ah-ah-ah... the sea remembers all.
