Intro :
T here was a time when we sailed on toget her
O nce had a dream that we shared on the way
T here was a place where we used to seek she lter
I never knew the pa in of the price i would p ay
Y ou led me on with a cloak and a d agger
A nd i didn't know you had made other p lans
Y ou had me believe we were meant fo rever
I really thought my h eart would be safe in your ha nds
L orelei
My ship has pa ssed you by
And though you pr omised me to show the way
Y ou led me astray
You were my lo relei
What kind of fo ol i was
Cause i bel ieved in every word you said
And n ow i wonder why
Lorelei
T here was a time when we held one anoth er
B aring our souls in the light of the flam e
T hose were the days now i've lost my illu sions
S ometimes i wake i n the night and i call out your n ame
L orelei
My ship has p assed you by
And though you pr omised me to show the way
Y ou led me astray
You were my lor elei
What kind of fo ol was I
Cause i bel ieved in every word you said
And now i wonder why

N ow there's a light that shines on the r iver
B linding my eyes from so far aw ay
S hot through the heart but now i know better
A s hard as it is to res ist the song that you pl ay
L orelei
My ship has p assed you by
And though you pr omised me to show the way
Y ou led me astray
You were my lor elei
What kind of fo ol was I
Cause i bel ieved in every word you said
And now i wonder why
