Song To The Siren

On the floating shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til 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"

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"

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Well, I was puzzled as the 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"

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
