Song To The Siren Lyrics

Long afloat, on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

til your singing eyes and fingers

drew me loving to your aisle



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 dreamt about me

were you hare, when I was fox

now my foolish boat, is leaning

broken lovelorn on you rocks



for you sing, touch me not

touch me not, come back tomorrow

Oh my heart, oh my heart

shy's from the sorrow



I'm as puzzled as the newborn child

I'm as riddled as the tide

should I stand amid the breakers

or should 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
