Song To the Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

'Til your singing eyes and fingers drew me closer to your isle

And you sang sail to me, sail to me

Let me unfold 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

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 troubled 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 unfold you

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you
