Lyrics Tim Buckley – Song To The Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
‘Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle

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:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow»

I’m as puzzled as the new born child
I’m as troubled as the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
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»
