Lorelei (cover)

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 
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 

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
