Song To The Siren Lyrics

[00:22.21] Long afloat on shipless oceans
[00:26.81] I did all my best to smile
[00:36.04] 'Til your singing eyes and fingers
[00:41.36] Drew me loving to your isle
[00:50.12] And you sang
[00:54.12] "Sail to me, sail to me
[01:00.23] Let me enfold you"
[01:07.91] Here I am, here I am
[01:14.17] Waiting to hold you
[01:24.52] Did I dream, you dreamed about me?
[01:30.93] Were you here when I was full sail?
[01:39.93] Now my foolish boat is leaning
[01:46.68] Broken lovelorn on your rocks
[01:55.75] For you sing
[01:58.69] "Touch me not, touch me not
[02:03.34] Come back tomorrow"
[02:10.59] Oh, my heart
[02:13.87] Oh, my heart shies from the sorrow
[02:30.08] Well, I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
[02:36.68] I'm as riddled as the tide
[02:43.11] Should I stand amid the breakers?
[02:48.73] Or should I lie with death my bride?
[02:56.07] Hear me sing
[02:58.46] "Swim to me, swim to me
[03:03.16] Let me enfold you"
[03:08.21] Here I am, here I am
[03:16.14] Waiting to hold you
[03:27.72]
