Song to the Siren by Tim Buckley


On my floating shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
Till 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 love lost on your rocks

For you sang"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 among the breakers
Or shall 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"

When Liz Fraser does her version of this poem/song believe me its hauntingly beautiful.
