Song of the Siren Lyrics
[Tim Buckley cover]
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
And you sang:
"Sail to me
Sail to me
Let me enfold you"
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was forsaken?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Leave me lovelorn on the rocks
And you said:
'Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
O my heart, o my heart, shines from the sorrow'
Well I'm puzzled as a newborn child
I am riddled as the tide:
Should I stand 'neath your breakers?
Or should I lie in death my bride?
And you said, 'Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you:
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you'
