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
Sail to me
Sail to me
Mmm, 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
Touch me not, touch me not
Oh, come back tomorrow
Oh, my heart, oh, my heart
Shies from the sorrow
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at the tide
Should I stand amidst the breakers?
Or should I lie with death, my bride?
Swim to me
Swim to me
Oh, come let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
