Song to the Siren

Tim Buckley e Larry Beckett Song to the Siren (1968) As versões originais e várias versões que se seguiram à minha versão preferida desta música, a interpretada pelos This Mortal Coil. "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 Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Shies from the sorrow' I am as puzzled as the oyster I am as troubled at the tide Should I stand amid the breakers? Or should I lie with death my bride? Hear me sing 'Swim to me, swim to me Let me enfold you Oh, my heart, oh, my heart Is waiting to hold you'" Tim Buckley ‎(1968, Monkees TV Show); Tim Buckley (1970, Starsailor); This Mortal Coil (1983, Song to the Siren); Cocteau Twins (1995, ao vivo nas Black Sessions, Paris) The Czars ‎(2000, Sing a Song for You: Tribute to Tim Buckley); Robert Plant (2002, Dreamland); Paul Charlier e Paula Arundell (2006, Candy OST); John Frusciante (2009, The Empyrean); Sinéad O'Connor (2010, Music of Ireland: Welcome Home) Bryan Ferry (2010, Olympia); Brendan Perry ‎(2011, ao vivo no estúdio da KEXP); Elizabeth Fraser (2012, ao vivo no Royal Festival Hall); Dead Can Dance (2013, In Concert);
