changeling

God, give me back my lover cause This boy is a stranger to me He lies like a dead man with heavy bones And I know that he don't sleep Did you see the siren take my man She dragged him out to sea And my lover don't know how to swim She's pulling him too deep God won't you dredge my lover boy Not this creature from the sea It sings in tongues through parchment lips While my man lies in state in her keep Can't you teach me ancient siren songs So I can lure him back where he belongs Cause this creature's got a one-track mind With no place for me I miss my singing lover boy Please make this stranger go He don't love me like he used to do I'm not used to being alone I'm waiting on my widow's walk And this stranger doesn't know If god gave me back my lover boy I'd never let him go So teach me pretty siren songs And I can lead him back where he belongs I'll teach him to swim so he can find His way home to me
