There was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
There was a place where we used to seek shelter

I never knew the pain of the price I would pay

You led me on with a cloak and a dagger

And I didn’t know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands


Lorelei
My ship has passed you by

And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my lorelei

What kind of fool I was
Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why

Lorelei

There was a time when we held one another

Baring our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days now I’ve lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name


Lorelei
My ship has passed you by

And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my lorelei

What kind of fool I was
Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why

Lorelei

Now there’s a light that shines on the river

Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play


Lorelei
