Song to the Siren John frusciante cover

Lyrics to Tim Buckley's SOng to the Siren, which John Frusciante covers on his newest record empyrean

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

Yea this is a really messed up guitar i was playin with with messed up strings and i hadn't barely began practicing the song so it's a pretty raw clip, not the best i know, but i put up practice clips when i think they are neat sometimes when i am first learning something.

your voice is great but... the guitar playing...hmm not the best... please try to sing it without the guitar, i think that would be nice..
