Long a (Bb)float on
ship less o ceans,
I did all my
best to smile;
till your sing ing
eyes and fin gers
drew me, lov ing,
to your isle.
And you (Bb)sang,
“Sail to me,
sail to me, let me en (Bb)fold you.
Here I am,
here I am,
wait ing to (Eb)hold you.”
Did I (Bb)dream
you dreamed a bout me?
Were you here
when I was foxed?
But now my fool ish
boat is lean ing
bro ken, love lorn,
on rocks.
For (Bb)sing,
“Touch me not,
touch me not; come back to (Bb)mor row.”
O my heart,
O my heart
shies from the (Eb)hold you.” (Eb)sor row.
Well, I’m as (Bb)puz zled
as the new born (Eb)child, I’m as rid dled
as the tide:
should I stand
a mid the break ers, or should I lie with
Death, my bride?
Hear me (Bb)sing:
“Swim
swim me;
(Eb)hold you.” (Eb)sor row.
(Eb)hold
you.”

About “Song To The Siren”
- Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Song To The Siren" suitable for a pianist?
- Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key Eb, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Song To The Siren" by Tim Buckley in?
- The backing track is in Eb at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Song To The Siren" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Song To The Siren"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Song To The Siren", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Song To The Siren" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.

- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
- Who wrote "Song To The Siren"?
- "Song To The Siren" was originally performed by Tim Buckley. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
- What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
- Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of Eb, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Song To The Siren" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
- Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
- Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
- Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
- Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
