Song of the Siren
I did all my best to smile
While your swimming eyes and fingers
Bid 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 forsaken
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Bid me love though, on the rocks
And you sing
'Touch me not
Touch me not, come back tomorrow
O my heart, o my heart, shies from the sorrow
Well, I'm puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand 'neath the breakers
Or should I lie with death my bride?
And you said
Swim to me, swim to me let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you
