Lorelei

[00:18.59] You told me tales of love and glory
[00:22.94] Same old sad songs, same old story
[00:26.91] The sirens sing no lullaby
[00:31.11] And no one knows but Lorelei
[00:35.40] Castles out of fairytales
[00:39.52] Timbers shivered where once there sailed
[00:43.63] The lovesick men who caught her eye
[00:47.80] And no one knew but Lorelei
[00:52.24] River, river have mercy
[00:55.45] Take me down to the sea
[01:00.40] For if I perish on these rocks
[01:04.42] My love no more I'll see
[01:08.88]
[01:12.72] I've thought of you in far-off places
[01:17.35] Puzzled over lipstick traces
[01:21.03] So help me God, I will not cry
[01:25.47] And then I think of Lorelei
[01:29.60] I travel far and wander wide
[01:33.80] No photograph of you beside me
[01:38.15] Ol' Man River's not so shy
[01:42.09] And he remembers Lorelei
[01:46.30] River, river have mercy
[01:49.45] Take me down to the sea
[01:54.44] For if I perish on these rocks
[01:59.04] My love no more I'll see
[02:03.04] If I should float upon this stream
[02:07.24] And see you in my madman's dream
[02:11.19] I'd sink into your troubled eyes
[02:15.64] And none would know 'cept Lorelei
[02:19.52] Oh, river, river, river have mercy
[02:23.27] Take me down to the sea
[02:27.82] For if I perish on these rocks
[02:32.22] My love no more I'll see
[02:36.15] But if my ship, which sails tomorrow
[02:40.47] Should crash against these rocks my sorrows
[02:44.88] I will drown before I die
[02:49.19] It's you I'll see, not Lorelei
[03:07.28]
