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 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
