Song To The Siren - Susheela Raman

On the floating, shapeless oceans

I did all my best to smile

Til your singing eyes and fingers

Drew me loving into your eyes

And you sang «Sail to me, sail to me

Let me unfold you»

Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

Were you here when I was false?

Now my foolish boat is leaning

Broken love lost on your rocks

For you sang, «Touch me not

Touch me not, come back tomorrow»

Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow

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 unfold you

Here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you»
