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
