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 isleAnd you sang sail to me, sail to me
Let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold youDid I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocksFor you sing, touch me not
Touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrowI am as puzzled as the newborn child
I am as troubled 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
