Song to the Siren Lyrics

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 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
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow

Oh I was puzzled as the newborn child
I was 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
