Song to the Siren Songtext

von Laurie Freelove

On the floating shipless ocean
I did all my best to smile
Till your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me lovingly to your isles
And you sang

Sail to me, sail to me
Come let me enfold you.

Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you.

Did I dream, you dreamed about me
Were you there when I was forced out?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken love upon your rocks
And you sang

Touch me not, touch me not
Come back tomorrow.

All my heart, all my heart
Shattered with sorrow.

I'm as puzzled as the 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

Sail to me, sail to me
Come let me enfold you.

Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you.
