Song To The Siren

( Buckley / Beckett )



Long afloat on distant 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 hare when I was fox

Now my foolish heart is leaning

Broken lovelorn 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 am puzzled as the new born child

I am riddled 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

Here I am, here I am

Waiting to hold you
