Song to the Siren

Long afloat on shipless 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 here when I was full sail?

Now my foolish boat 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

Shys from the sorrow

Well, I'm as puzzled as 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
