Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil

Song to the Siren Lyrics

On the floating, ship less oceans
I did all my best to smile
Till 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 youDid I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocksFor you sang, "Touch me not
Touch me not, come back tomorrow"
Ohh my heart, ohh my heart
Shies from the sorrowWell, 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
