To The Sirens...

This Mortal Coil - 'Song To The Siren' 

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?
