Song To The Siren
Larry Beckett, Tim Buckley
On the floating, 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 full sail?
Now my foolish boat lingers
Broken, lovelorn on your rocks
And you said, "Touch me not
Touch me not
Come back tomorrow"
Oh my heart
Oh my heart shies from the sorrow
Well I'm as puzzled as a newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death my bride?
And you sang, "Swim to me
Swim to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am, waiting to hold you"
