Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil with lyrics

On the floating, shapeless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til 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.
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you here when I was full sail?

Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks.
For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow."
Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow.
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."

The real magic of the song is in those last two lines. Singing to the siren who enticed him and broke him, the sailor becomes a siren himself, begging her to swim out and return to him...

PERFECT!

как саундтрек к фильму -просто в точку.. сердце аж сжимается..сразу вспоминаются кадры фильма.. "Милые кости" - тяжелый фильм конечно , особенно для родителей детей. но песня - просто супер, мелодичная и красивая, и видео хорошее..

super !
