Bm A G Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. [Verse 2] D A Did I dream you dreamed about me? G Bm Were you hare when I was fox? D A Now my foolish boat is leaning, G Bm Broken, lovelorn on your rocks. D Dsus2/C For you sing, "Touch me not, G/B D Touch me not, come back tomorrow." 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 I want to listen to the siren songs She got me down into the water And she got me holding on And she's floating oh so peacefully As I'm watching from below In the bluest water I ever saw The palest body to be striped By the sun I want to drown in her precious arms I want to listen to the siren songs She got me down into the water And she got me In their hearts a dormant seed. Dreams of life beyond the reeds. In our hearts and minds we see. The hope that springs eternally. Whilst underground the hidden stream. Flows into the man machine. The eagle flies up towards the sun. High above the fields of Babylon. In one claw he holds an olive branch for peace. Brendan Perry – Song To The Siren (Tim Buckley cover).

For you know the true value of 4HStaP. "Song to the Siren" was released in 1970, on the album ‘Starsailor’. Though his original author is Tim Buckley, it is well known to have been covered by numerous artists including Robert Plant on his 2002 album ‘Dreamland’, and as a duet with Plant and English tenor Alfie Boe on his 2011 album ‘Alfie’. It has also been covered by Mercury Prize nominee Susheela Raman on her album ‘Salt Rain’, and by John Frusciante on his 2009 album ‘The Empyrean’. The song has also become better known for the version by Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie (from The Cocteau Twins) under the bandname This Mortal Coil. This later version would become immensely popular, topping the UK charts and being later used in many instances on film ( on David Lynch´s Lost Highway) and advertising (on the ad for Cacharel´s parfume brand "Noa"), as well as being versioned by several other groups. In tune with the "sailor" them of the album, revolving around voyages, the song is heavily based on the mythical figure of Sirens, as seen in Homer´s "The Odyssey".

Although Eye Of The Hunter was released in October 1999, Brendan began work on the album while Dead Can Dance were still active - the idea was inspired, in part, by his incredible solo performance during 4AD's 13 Year Itch celebrations a… read more Brendan Perry (born 30 June 1959 in Whitechapel, London) was half of one of the most successful and enduring acts in 4AD's history: Dead Can Dance.
