"Song To The Siren" lyrics

"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
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 forced out?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing, "Touch me not
Touch me not; come back tomorrow
And 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"
