Sirens

Hear the sirens, hear the sirens
Hear the sirens, hear the circus, so profound
I hear the sirens more and more in this here town

Let me catch my breath to breathe and reach across the bend
Just to know we’re safe, I am a grateful man
This light has been alive and I can see you clear

I have to take your hand and feel your breath for fear this someday will be over
I pulled you close, so much to lose knowing that nothing lasts forever

I didn’t care, before you were here
A distant laughter with the ever after
But all things change, let this remain

Hear the sirens covering distance in the night
The sound echoing closer, will they come for me next time

For every choice, mistake I made, it’s not my plan
To send you in the arms of another man
And if you choose to stay, I’ll wait, I’ll understand

It’s a fragile thing this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get overwhelmed
by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
I studied your face, the fear goes away

It’s a fragile thing this life we lead, if I think too much, I can’t get overwhelmed
by the grace, by which we live our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go, I always loved you, held you high above too
I studied your face, the fear goes away, the fear goes away, the fear goes away

The fear goes away
