Song to the siren

Song to the siren Lyrics

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Till your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle
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 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 a new-born baby
I am troubled as 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
