"Song To The Siren" lyrics

"Song To The Siren"

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

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 hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks

Touch me not, touch me not,
Oh, come back tomorrow;
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow

I am puzzled as a newborn baby
I am as troubled as the tide
Should I stand amidst the breakers?
Or should I lie with Death my bride?

Swim to me
Swim to me
Oh, come let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
