This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans

I did all my best to smile

'Til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving into 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 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"
