Song To The Siren
(Tim Buckley)
TIM BUCKLEY
>From Starsailor, 1971
Verse 1:
BbLong afloat Fon shipless oceans
EbI did all myGm best to smile
Bb'Til your singing Feyes and fingers
EbDrew me loviGmng to your isle
BbAnd you saAbng
Sail to Ebme, sail to me
BbLet me enfold you
GmHere I am
Here I aFm
Waiting to Ebhold Gmyou
Verse 2:
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks,
For you sing, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow:
O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow"
Verse 3:
I am puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled at 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, Waiting to hold you"
***
With a capo at the third fret, you can play
