brendan perry song to the siren lyrics
Melody and lyrics combined is a lethal combination in Tim Buckley ’s ‘Song To The Siren’, a haunting ballad about surrendering to a love that gives nothing in return. Buckley takes us out for a stroll, out on the edge of loneliness and yearning, using images of the sea, doomed romance and death by drowning to draw us a picture. Tim
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: O my heart, O my heart shies from the sorrow I am puzzled as the newborn child I am troubled at the tide: Should I stand amid the breakers? 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 All love's lost children Behind us, forgotten Youth lies broken Upon the wheel of the machine Each time we kill their song Time feeds our memories We travel through past lives We are angels Part devil in disguise We sow the seeds of our own demise All love's lost children Inside us, forgotten You must open As the flower greets the sun To sing their praise with your song If you turn a blind eyeJoin others and track this song Scrobble, find and rediscover music with a account Do you know a YouTube video for this track?
