This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren lyrics
[This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren lyrics]
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"
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"
