Sirens Lyrics

Heart beat drumming to the sound of sirens blasting

Through the lasting, winter's night

A child so young, facedown upon the water

A mother's daughter a father's joy

Voices echo as defibrillator's building

Slowly filling, empty voids

And in the corner, there's a single sock upon her

The other daughter, watching on

And she says

Mummy, I just wanted to help ya

you sounded so tired and, helpless when you were on the phone

And Daddy

I really just love you, even when you're busy, trying to save the world

But the voices go

Na na na na na Na na na na na

Just echoing the sound of London's lights

And the sirens go

Na na na na na Na na na na na

Just singing her, this city's lullaby

Hands and prayers, bought by hearts, so willing

To see a change in, ICU

With two-year old, still sat by the window

Wondering when will, those flowers bloom

And she says

Mummy, when you gonna, come home

I've made up all the pillows, just the way you like

And Daddy

Thanks for all the cuddles, but I really want to

Stay with you all night

But the voices go

Na na na na na Na na na na na

Just echoing the sound of London's lights

And the sirens go

Na na na na na Na na na na na

Just singing her, this city's lullaby

But eighteen years on, I'm sitting here

That little girl, with grown up years

And Charlotte's doing, well you see

that baby lived, and she's so free

'Cause I said

Mummy, I don't want to grow up

Without my little sister to turn my life around

And Daddy

I don't want you to teach me, how to live my story

Without her in the world

But the voices go

Na na na na na Na na na na na

Just echoing the sound of London's lights

And the sirens go

Na na na na na Na na na na na

Just singing her, this city's lullaby
