Lorelei |
| You told me tales of love and glory |
| Same old sad songs, same old story |
| The sirens sing no lullaby |
| And no-one knows but Lorelei |
| By castles out of fairytales |
| Timbers shivered where once there sailed |
| The lovesick men who caught her eye |
| And no-one knew but Lorelei |
| River, river have mercy |
| Take me down to the sea |
| For if I perish on these rocks |
| My love no more I’ll see |
| I’ve thought of you in far-off places |
| I’ve puzzled over lipstick traces |
| So help me God, I will not cry |
| And then I think of Lorelei |
| I travel far and wander wide |
| No photograph of you beside me |
| Ol' man River’s not so shy |
| And he remembers Lorelei |
| River, river have mercy |
| Take me down to the sea |
| For if I perish on these rocks |
| My love no more I’ll see |
| If I should float upon this stream |
| And see you in my madman’s dream |
| I’d sink into your troubled eyes |
| And none would know 'cept Lorelei |
| River, river have mercy |
| Take me down to the sea |
| For if I perish on these rocks |
| My love no more I’ll see |
| But if my ship, which sails tomorrow |
| Should crash against these rocks |
| My sorrows I will drown before I die |
| It’s you I’ll see, not Lorelei |
