Verse 1
Song To The Siren
(Tim Buckley)
From Starsailor, 1971
Verse 1
[Bb]Long afloat [F]on shipless oceans
[Eb]I did all my[Gm] best to smile
[Bb]'Til your singing [F]eyes and fingers
[Eb]Drew me [Gm]loving to your isle
[Bb]And you [Ab]sang
Sail to [Eb]me, sail to me
[Bb]Let me enfold you
[Gm]Here I am
Here I [F]am
Waiting to [Eb]hold [Gm]you
Verse 2
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:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
Verse 3
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled at 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:
Here I am, Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
