Song to the Siren

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the floating 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" [Verse 2] Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was forsook? 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" [Verse 3] I'm as puzzled as a 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"
