"Lorelei" lyrics

It's a sailor's tale as old as time
You're looking for treasures you'll never find
You can hear a lonely voice in the midnight air
Sounds right around the corner, but she ain't nowhere, nah

Lorelei, Lorelei
I still hear you whisper in the dead of night
You wreck my world, and I don't know why
I keep my sails in the wind for ya
Lorelei, Lorelei

I try to cover my ears and close my eyes
So I don't go a-fallin' for your wicked lies
But I have, and I will another hundred times
The more I'm looking for you, girl, the less I find
Good Lord

Lorelei, Lorelei
I still hear you whisper in the dead of night
You wreck my world, and I don't know why
I keep my sails in the wind for ya
Lorelei, Lorelei

Sometimes I wonder if you're only in my head
But I ain't giving up on us just yet
I can't

Lorelei, Lorelei
I still hear you whisper every time I close my eyes
You always wreck my world, and I don't know why
I keep my sails to the wind for ya
Lorelei, alright

Lorelei, Lorelei
I still hear you whisper in the dead of night
You wreck my world, and I don't know why
I keep my sails in the wind for ya
Lorelei, and I'll be coming back again for you
Lorelei, Lorelei
