Song To The Siren Lyrics - This Mortal Coil

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 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 sang, "Touch me not 

Touch me not, come back tomorrow" 

Ohh my heart, ohh my heart 

Shies from the sorrow 

Well, 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?
