The Scorpions - Lorelei lyrics

rate me

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

Lorelei
