Song to the Siren

Song To The Siren - This Mortal Coil

Written by：Larry Beckett/Tim Buckley

On the floating shipless 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 lovelorn 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

I'm as puzzled as a newborn child

I'm as riddled as the tide

Should I stand amid the breakers

Or shall 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
