song to the siren

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 unfold you
here i am, here i am waiting to hold you
did i dream you dreamt about me?
were you hare while i was fox?
now my foolish boat is leaning
broken lovelorn 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 am puzzled as a newborn child
i am troubled as the tide
should i stand amidst the breakers?
or should i lay with death my bride?
hear me sing, swim to me
swim to me, let me unfold you
here i am, here i am
waiting to hold you
oh let me unfold you
Originally composed by Larry Beckett & Tim Buckley, released in 1970.

detangle the thoughts

can't detangle the thoughts
a million voices merged into one
unintelligible
oh, am i friend or am i foe?
it's wearing me down
and wearing me off
indiscernible
where do i end to let them begin?
constant war of my own
i feel watched but everybody's gone
can't be with myself
trust me, i've tried but we don't get along
so i try to bend myself
i fold her into all shapes and forms
and run from time itself
and not look back since it's catching up
it's wearing me down
and wearing me off

if you'll be my star, i'll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when i turn jet black, and you show off your light
i live to let you shine
i live to let you shine
you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here, with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
if you'll be my boat, i'll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to prove curiosity
ebbing and flowing, and pushed by a breeze
i live to set you free
live to set you free
you can set sail to the west if you want to
and pass the horizon 'til i can't even see you
far from here, where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by
if you'll be my star, i'll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when i turn jet black and you show off your light
i live to let you shine
live to let you shine
you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here, with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
stardust to remember you by
Originally composed by Gregory and the Hawk, released in 2006.

pass me by

i have songs for you that you can't hear but i'll still sing them to you
i have all the food you couldn't eat, time wasn't on your side
it's curious, peculiar
how out of all the times i thought i'd lose you
this one i was the least accustomed to
the idea, naivity and fantasy i-
thought i saw you in your bed, it was all in my head
i can't ask you once again
if you're tired and okay, is it hard during the day?
do you hear me when i say your name?
boy, are you sleeping tonight?
do they keep you warm at night?
do you wonder where am i?
or can you see me?
i'll stay, stay right here
and days will pass me by
days will pass me by
the days will pass me
by, the days will pass me by
bye bye, goodbye
and days will pass me by
stay right here
i'll stay right here
and days will pass me by
stay right here
and days will pass me by
stay right here
and days will pass me by
by by
stay right here
and days will pass me, by
the days will pass me by
days wills pass me, bye
are you sleeping, tonight?
do they keep you warm and tight?
do you wonder where am i?
or can you see me?
the days will pass me, bye
stay right here
the days will pass me...
