Song To The Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
till 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 sing, touch me not
Touch me not; come back tomorrow
Oh, my heart, oh, my heart
Shies from the sorrow

Well, I'm as puzzled as a newborn child
I'm as riddled 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
