This Mortal Coil: Song to the Siren.

one of my favorites of all time.
was in the lost highway soundtrack, i believe.
"did i dream you dreamed about me..."
beautiful fucking song.

Lyrics to "Song to the Siren" by This Mortal Coil

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."

just lovely isn't it? lyrics----her haunting voice is echoing....and ."..my foolish boat is leaning... " do you hear the waves? lapping at your ship.... set upon uncharted seas.... set adrift... no stars to navigate....

can we do special dedications here on gfy???

i did all my best to smile at your big blue singing eyes....
captivating and haunting...
marine layer cast
no penetrating gray between sea nor defining a limitless sky....

may be more but who knows who may want you....???

I prefer Tim Buckley, but Liz Fraser has a smashing voice and its a great cover.

Awesome music, Jim. Thanks for having this one here.
