Song 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 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"
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as a newborn child,
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall 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."

*первым исполнителем песни является Tim Buckley, написавший ее в соавторстве с Larry Beckett


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"
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as a newborn child,
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall 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."


Song to the Siren

On the floating, shipless oceans

Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Now my foolish boat is leaning,
Broken lovelorn on your rocks.
For you sang "Touch me not, touch me not,
Come back tomorrow"
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow

Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or shall 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.
