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
