Song to the Siren

On the floating, shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving into your eyes

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 full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks

For you sang "Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow"
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as a newborn child
I’m as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you"
