Lorelei

by The Pogues

lyricscopy.com
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
