Song to the Siren

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"
