Loreley Lyrics
Merrily we sailed along
Though the waves were plenty strong
Down the twisting river Rhine
Following a songLegend's faded storyline
Tried to warn us all
Oh, they called her, "Loreley"
Careful or you'll fallOh, the stories we were told
Quite a vision to behold
Mysteries of the seas
In her eyes of goldLaying on the silver stone
Such a lonely sight
Barnacles become a throne
My poor LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyYou would not believe your eyes
How a voice could hypnotize
Promises are only lies
From LoreleyIn a shade of mossy green
Seashell in her hand
She was born the river queen
Ne'er to grace the landAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyOh, the song of Loreley
Charms the moon right from the sky
She will get inside your mind
Lovely LoreleyWhen she cries, "Be with me
Until the end of time"
You know you will ever be
With your LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the LoreleyAnd the winds would cry
And many men would die
And all the waves would bow down
To the Loreley
