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 for 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 was I
Cause I believed
In every word you said
And now I wonder why
Lorelei

There was a time when
We held one another
Bearing 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 was I
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
