Blackmores Night - Loreley lyrics

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...
