Sing For Me - The Fiery Furnaces
Written by：Brown Gavin/Lamb Paul/Tetford Cory
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me home
The girl around her father throws her arms to make him stay
My daddy dear it hails it blows you cannot go today
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me home
The April mud was on his boots a clinging through the fields
And desperate it send up its shoots but at water's edge it yields
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me home
The waves were pounding the dock the pillars creak and growl
The shoreman loading up the stock the gulls were crying foul
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me home
The father called up to the ship you need an extra hand
Ah yes for just a little trip one month be back at land
The rain had stirred the sea too well the salt poured on the deck
At last the captain rang the bell they ship was left to wreck
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me home
It calm but now the fog if thick so which way should they head
The rest knew not and they must be quick so father softly said
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me hom
Sing for me my daughter sing for me
When I'm away you'll be the siren that will finally lead me home
