This Mortal Coil
Song to the Siren 


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"
I Must Have Been Blind 

Here I am believing words again
Here I am trying to find a love again
Here I am down on my knees again
Praying for the love that we used to know
Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go
Both of us know how hard it is to go on living that way
And so few understand what it means to fall in love
And so few know how hard it is to live without it
Lord I must have been blind 
How to hold something real and not believe it 
To live your life and never trust it
To give all you know and never feel it
And hold back each day until it dies away
Both of us know how hard it is to love and let it go 
Both of us know how hard it is to go on living that way
And few you understand what it means to fall in love
And few you know how hard it is to live without you
Lord I must have been blind
Dreams Are Like Water 

The air was blue. You could hold it in your hand, blue
Remember me, I once told you and I tried to
Said to realize that nothing lasts forever
Golden heart, You'll always be a child
We cried as we kissed, it was too new
We died and we lived, it was too new
Too strong still too much
When you were a child unhappiness took the place of dreams
Dreams are like water, colorless and dangerous
Without the strength to love, way beyond fear
You could care less if you could care at all
We cried as we kissed, it was too new
We died and we lived, it was too new
Too strong still too much
