song to the siren

Garbage

Long afloat on shipless 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

La la, la la, la la la
La la, la la, la la la

Now, 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 sing: Touch me not
Touch me not; come back tomorrow
Oh, my heart; oh, 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 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
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you
