This Mortal Coil — Song to the Siren

Текст песни: Song to the Siren

Song to the Siren Lyrics[Verse 1]
On the floating shipless 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 you"
[Verse 2]
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 sing, "Touch me not
Touch me not; come back tomorrow
Oh, my heart—oh, my heart
Shies from the sorrow"

[Verse 3]
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"4
