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 hare when I was fox?
And now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing
"Touch me not
Touch me not
Come back tomorrow"
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at 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
