Thomas Dybdahl - Song to the Siren

Album: Flere Sange Fra 1. Sal (an album featuring various artists)

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 fox?

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."

Original by This Mortal Coil

Further information:

Thomas Dybdahl said in an interview featuring his live version of "Song to the Siren", he told us about his feelings toward the original by This Mortal Coil. He described the situation as was he completely alone, like he was the only one This Mortal Coil was actually playing in front of. He said it was like being unconscious but in a beautiful way. He then couldn't help making his own version of this beautiful song.
