This Mortal Coil - Song of the Siren

Tag: Uncategorizedkenn @ 10:48 pm

On the floating, shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving into your eyes

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�
