This Mortal Coil - Song To The Siren lyrics

On the floating, ship less 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

Then I dreamed, you dreamed about me

Were you here when I was for 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

When 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
