Song To The Siren Lyrics - The Empyrean - John Frusciante

Long afloat on shipless oceans 

I did all my best to smile 

'Til your singing eyes and fingers 

Drew me loving to your isle 

And you sang sail to me, sail to me 

Let me enfold you 

Here I am, here I am 

Waiting to hold you 

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 

Oh my heart, oh my heart 

Shies from the sorrow 

I am as puzzled as the newborn child 

I am as troubled 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 enfold you 

Here I am, here I am 

Waiting to hold you
