Song to the siren

Song to the siren Lyrics

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving into 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 faux ?

Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love
Lies on your rocks.
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not,
Come back tomorrow."

Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow
I was puzzled like the oyster
I'm as troubled as the tide.

Should I stand amid the breakers?
Should I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing,
"Swim to me, swim to me,
Let me enfold you."
"cause Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you."
