Song to the Siren

On the floating shipless oceans I did all my best to smile To your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving to your arms

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 But now my foolish boat is leaning Broken love lost on your rocks

Will you sing Touch me not Touch me not Come back tomorrow

Oh, my heart Oh, my heart Shies from the sorrow

But 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 enfold you

Here I am Here I am Waiting to hold you
