Song To The Siren
(Tim Buckley)
From Starsailor, 1971
Capo 1
Verse 1:
A E
Long afloat on shipless oceans
D F#m
I did all my best to smile
A E
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
D F#m
Drew me loving to your isle
A
And you sang
G D
Sail to me, sail to me
A
Let me enfold you Here I am
F#m E
Here I am
D F#m
Waiting to hold you

Verse 2:
A E
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
D F#m
Were you hare when I was fox?
A E
Now my foolish boat is leaning
D F#m
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
A
For you sing,
G D
"Touch me not, touch me not,
A
come back tomorrow, O my heart,
F#m E D F#m
O my heart shies from the sorrow"
Verse 3:
A E
I am puzzled as the newborn child
D F#m
I'm as riddled at the tide
A E
Should I stand amid the breakers?
D F#m
Or should I lie with Death my bride?
A G
Hear me sing, "Swim to me,
D A
Swim to me, Let me enfold you, Here I am,
F#m E D F#m
Here I am, Waiting to hold you"
