This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren

On the floating, shapeless 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 love lost 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 shall 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.
