Song to the Siren
Larry Beckett, Tim Buckley
On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving into your eyes
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 love lost on your rocks
For you sang, "Touch me not
Touch me not‚ come back tomorrow"
Oh my heart
Oh my heart shies from the sorrow
Well 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
