The Bed Heads - Odyssey Lyrics

I was alone, floating a raft down the stream
Passing time whisking water off reeds
Well I saw a siren stand on the beach
She said won't you stop and hear me sing

Well I'd give her a chance
But I got this melody in my head
And I can tell by the bones I'd end up dead

I saw a man with one eye in the middle of his head
One day as I was coming round the bend
He screamed what are you doing tell me your name
I said I ain't done nothing Nobody is my name

Well he reached for a gun
And I laid flat on my back
Tried to scream
But could only laugh

Well I saw her in a dream late at night
I knew I'd love her till the day that I die
But you can't dream of a face you've never seen
So now I'll travel the world till I can finally be
By her side

I was in a crowd one day when I stopped to resupply
On the trip for the love of my life
Well I saw her shadow slowly creep by
So I turned to her then spoke my words all my lines

I said I love you so
Please won't you be my wife
She said thanks for the news
I'm telling you I'm fine
