Song To The Siren

A


[Verse 1]
A           E
Long afloat on shipless oceans,
D            F#m
I did all my best to smile,
A                 E               D
'Til your singing eyes and fingers,
D          F#m              A
Drew me loving to your isle.


[Chorus 1]
A            G           F#m
And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me,
         A
Let me enfold you,
       F#m        E
Here I am, here I am,
           D      A
Waiting to hold you".


[Verse 2]
A           E
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
D            F#m
Were you here when I was full sail?
A              E               D
Now my foolish boat is leaning,
D               F#m        A
Broken lovelorn on your rocks.


[Chorus 2]
A            G
For you sing, "Touch me not,
F#m                          A
Touch me not; come back tomorrow,
F#m          E
Oh, my heart—oh, my heart,
               D       A
Shies from the sorrow".


[Verse 3]
A                         E       D
Well, I'm as puzzled as a newborn child,
D              F#m
I'm as riddled as the tide,
A               E               D
Should I stand amid the breakers,
            D                 F#m     A
Or should I lie with death my bride?


[Outro]
A            G           F#m
Hear me sing, "Swim to me,
                      A
Swim to me; let me enfold you,
       F#m        E
Here I am, here I am,
           D      A
Waiting to hold you".
