Subject: Lyr Add: SONG TO THE SIREN (Tim Buckley)
These are the Buckley lyrics I have:
"Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me laughing, 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
Did I dream you dreamed about me
Were you hare when I was fox?
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 at the sorrow
I am puzzled as a newborn child
I am troubled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Or 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."
