About this song
- "Song to the Siren" is a song written by Tim Buckley and his writing partner Larry Beckett and was first released on Buckley's 1970 album Starsailor. The song has become perhaps Buckley's most famous song due to a number of artists covering the song after his death in 1975. It has featured as a cover on studio album by This Mortal Coil on 1984 album It'll End in Tears, where it was also released as a single. The single had moderate success, spending 13 weeks in the UK charts and peaking at #66 on October 23, 1983.[4] This Mortal Coil was a collective name for artists on the 4AD Records label and Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins performed the song. "Song to the Siren" features on the last Peter Jackson's film, "Lovely Bones", as well as in David Lynch's "Lost Highway". Song To The Siren lyrics On the floating, ship less oceans I did all my best to smile Till your singing eyes and fingers Drew me loving into your eyes And you sang, "Sail to me Sail to me, let me enfold you" Here I am, here I am Waiting to hold you Then I dreamed, you dreamed about me Were you here when I was for sail? (Was for sail) Now my foolish boat is leaning Broken lovelorn on your rocks For you sang, "Touch me not Touch me not, come back tomorrow" Ohh my heart, ohh my heart Shies from the sorrow When I'm as puzzled as a newborn child I'm as riddled as the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or shall 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 .
