SOHN - Song To The Siren Lyrics

SOHN Lyrics

"Song To The Siren"
(originally by Tim Buckley)

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all like you to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving into 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 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
Here I am, here I am, o my heart, shies from the sorrow'
o my heart, shies from the sorrow'

I am puzzled as the oyster
I am riddle as the tide:
Should I stand amid your 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
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you"
