This Mortal Coil - "Song to the Siren" - live Broadcast on Channel Four's "Loose Talk", Tuesday 11 October, 1983.

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'm as puzzled as the new born child

I'm as troubled as 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"
