Song To The Siren
Larry Beckett / Tim Buckley
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 hare when I was fox
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing
Touch me not
Touch me not
Come back tomorrow
O my heart
O my heart
Shies from the sorrow
I am puzzled as the oyster
I am troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid your breakers
Or should I lie with death my bride
Hear me sing (hear me sing)
Swim to me (swim to me)
Swim to me
Let me enfold you (enfold you)
Here I am (here I am)
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
