Song To The Siren

Long afloat, (on) shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

til your singing eyes and fingers

drew me loving to your aisle

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 dreamt about me?

Were you hare, when I was fox?

Now my foolish boat is leaning,

broken lovelorn on you rocks

For you sing, "touch me not

touch me not, come back tomorrow.

Oh my heart, oh my heart

shies from the sorrow."

I'm as puzzled as the newborn child

I'm as riddled as the tide

Should I stand amid the breakers,

or 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."
