Loreley

Merrily we sailed along Though the waves were plenty strong Down the twisting river Rhine Following a song... Legend's faded storyline Tried to warn us all Oh, they called her "Loreley" Careful or you'll fall... Oh, the stories we were told Quite a vision to behold Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold... Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley... And the winds would cry, and many men would die And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley... You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize Promises are only lies from Loreley In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land... Oh, the song of Loreley Charms the moon right from the sky... She will get inside your mind, loveley Loreley... When she cries "Be with me until the end of time" You know you will ever be with your Loreley...
