Loreley Lyrics

Bordeaux Lip Loreley

Floating on the open sea
Just my little ship and me
And from heaven drips a choir
Catch' me with piano-wire
Every note gives me a shock
Pulls me closer to the rock
I can't win but I will try
Shouting at the open sky:

"Tell me lore- loreley
Is it you who holds me tight?
With your gorgeous hook and eye
And a voice that made me cry"

[solo]

I'm a puppet on a string
Hoist my sails in evil wind
And my brain wants to take part
But there's a captain in my heart
Lighthouse shines in strawberry-blonde
Shows me everything i want
And it feels absolutely wrong
But I keep fighting her song

"Loreley, there's land in sight
Let me ask you this upright
Is one moment by your side
Really worth a suicide?"

[solo]

Loreley I'm gonna die
My ship is swallowed by the tide
Even though you won't reply
I hope you heard my battle-cry
