(intro 2x) 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 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 i was Cause i believed in every word you said And now i wonder why Lorelei There was a time when we held one another Baring 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 (solo 2x) 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 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 (solo)
