Song of the Siren

Long afloat on shipless oceans
 I did all my best to smile
 By your swimming eyes and fingers
 Bate 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 forsaken
 Now my foolish boat is leaning
 Bate lovelorn on your rocks,
 For you sing
 Touch me not
 touch me not
 come back tomorrow
 O my heart
 O my heart
 shines from the sorrow
 Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
 I'm as riddle as the tide
 Should I stand neath the breakers?
 Should I lie with Death my bride?
 And you sang
 Swim to me
 Swim to me
 Let me enfold you
 Here I am
 Here I am
 Waiting to hold you
