Song to the Siren (Take 7)

Long afloat on 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

O my heart, o my heart, shies from the sorrow'

Well I am puzzled as the newborn child

I am troubled at the tide

Should I stand amid the breakers?

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
