Two Songs , Two Buckleys

[jazzy_dave]

A couple of tunes that i have been playing alot recently are these two -

Jeff Buckley - Corpus Christi Carol

Tim Buckley - Song To The Siren

I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving into 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 hare when 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'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?
Here me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me,
Let me enfold you."

Here I am, Here I am, waiting to hold you."


Enjoy.

I was toying between the two versions of the song and another by Sinead O'Connor , and i love Liz Frazer's take on the song. Loved This Mortal Coil anyway.

The first one is beautiful, but I am guessing that's not Jeff Buckley doing the singing. :p
