Long floating, 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 here when I was full sail?
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"
Well I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as 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"

You and Song to the Siren

This Mortal Coil

This Mortal Coil is a British 4AD project curated by Ivo Watts-Russell with producer John Fryer, active from 1983 to 1991. Featuring a rotating cast from the label (including members of Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, and others), the collective released three albums—It'll End in Tears, Filigree & Shadow, and Blood—blending ethereal covers and atmospheric instrumentals. Their version of Tim Buckley’s Song to the Siren became an enduring touchstone.
