Song To The Siren
Larry Beckett
Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Till 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 is leaving
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
And now I am puzzled as the newborn child
And I am troubled as thе tide
Should I stand amid the breakеrs?
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
