[Originally by Tim Buckley]

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
