Lyrics:

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 sends up its shoots
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 'gainst 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
The 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's calm but now the fog is 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 home

Sing for me
My daughter, sing for me
When I'm away you'll be
The siren that will finally lead me home
