Song
to the Siren
Performed
by Sinéad O'Connor
(NOTE:
Lyrics may differ slightly from those shown below) Long
afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'Til 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 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 I
am puzzled as the newborn child I am riddled as the tide: Should I stand
amid the breakers? 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.
