Song To the Siren (Take 7)

Long afloat on 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 unfold you"

"Here I am

Here I am

Waiting to hold you"

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you hare when I was fox?

But 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"

I'm as puzzled as the oyster

I'm as troubled 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"

"Oh, my heart

Oh, my heart

Is waiting to hold you"
