Song To The Siren...

On the floating 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 full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks

For you sang;
"Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
O my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow"

When I am as puzzled as the newborn child
I am as riddled at the tide:
Should I stand amid the breakers?
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..."
