Song to the Siren Songtext
von Susheela Raman

On the floating, shapeless 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 unfold you"

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was false?


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 amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death my bride?

Hear me sing: "Swim to me
Swim to me, let me unfold you
Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you"
