Song To The Siren

(Tim Buckley)

TIM BUCKLEY

>From Starsailor, 1971

Verse 1:

Bb          F        

Long afloat on shipless oceans

Eb          Gm

I did all my best to smile

Bb                F

'Til your singing eyes and fingers

Eb          Gm

Drew me loving to your isle

Bb        Ab

And you sang

        Eb

Sail to me, sail to me

Bb

Let me enfold you

Gm

Here I am

        F

Here I am

           Eb   Gm

Waiting to hold you

Verse 2:

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"

Verse 3:

I am puzzled as the newborn child

I'm as riddled at 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"

***

With a capo at the third fret, you can play
