Bryan Ferry Song To The Siren Lyrics

[cover of Tim Buckley]

On the floating, shipless, 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

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

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?
Here me sing
Swim to me, swim to me
Let me enfold you

Here I am, Here I am
Waiting to hold You
