Song to the Siren
Siren's Call: A Melodic Tale of Love and Temptation
Lyrics
Long afloat on shipless oceans
Feeling adrift on aimless seas
I did all my best to smile
Making an effort to appear happy
'til your singing eyes and fingers
Your captivating gaze and touch
Drew me loving to your isle
Pulled me affectionately to your haven
And you sang
You sang to me
Sail to me
Inviting me to sail towards you
Sail to me, let me enfold you
Asking me to embrace you
Here I am
Expressing your presence
Here I am
Reiterating your readiness
Waiting to hold you
Eagerly anticipating holding you
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Questioning if you had dreams of me
Were you hare when I was fox?
Were you there for me like I was for you?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Now my naive boat is in distress
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
Shattered and love-stricken on your harsh reality
For you sing
You sing to me
'Touch me not
Cautioning me to keep my distance
Touch me not, come back tomorrow
Requesting me to return another day
O my heart, o my heart, shies from the sorrow'
Expressing emotional pain and avoidance
Well I am puzzled as the newborn child
Confused, like an innocent child
I am troubled at the tide
Disturbed by the unpredictable tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Contemplating whether to face challenges
Should I lie with death my bride?
Considering a connection with death
Hear me sing swim to me
Listen to me, come to me
Swim to me, let me enfold you
Swim to me, allow me to embrace you
Here I am, here I am
Present and ready for you
Waiting to hold you
Awaiting the opportunity to hold you
