Reviews
Written circa 1968 but not recorded in the studio until 1970, "Song to the Siren" made its debut in the last episode of the Monkees' television series the year it was written. An interesting period piece, it collects the best from Tim Buckley's psychedelic period of Goodbye and Hello and the even more eclectic and experimental Lorca from 1969. A tender love song on the surface, the recording is treated with some interesting psychedelic touches, particularly the electric guitar and the wailing background chorus. Melodically, it's one of Buckley's most loose efforts, but the lack of construction makes this song even more intriguing. Both the studio and live Monkees versions are available on Morning Glory.

Lyrix
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 hare when I was fox?
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"

I am puzzled as the newborn child
I am troubled at 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”
