Song To The Siren
(Tim Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY
From Starsailor, 1971
[Verse 1]
[tab]
Long afloat on shipless oceans[/tab]
[tab]
I did all my best to smile[/tab]
[tab]
Til your singing eyes and fingers[/tab]
[tab]
Drew me loving to your isle[/tab]
[tab]
And you sang[/tab]
[tab]
Sail to me, sail to me[/tab]
[tab]
Let me enfold you[/tab]
[tab]
Here I am[/tab]
[tab]
Here I am[/tab]
[tab]
Waiting to hold you[/tab]
[Verse 2]
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
[Verse 3]
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I m as riddled 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"
