Pogues - Lorelei Lyrics
You told me tales of love and glorySame old sad songs, same old storyThe sirens sing no lullabyAnd no-one knows but loreleiBy castles out of fairytalesTimbers shivered where once there sailedThe lovesick men who caught her eyeAnd no-one knew but loreleiRiver, river have mercyTake me down to the seaFor if I perish on these rocksMy love no more Ill seeIve thought of you in far-off placesIve puzzled over lipstick tracesSo help me god, I will not cryAnd then I think of loreleiI travel far and wander wideNo photograph of you beside meOl man rivers not so shyAnd he remembers loreleiRiver, river have mercyTake me down to the seaFor if I perish on these rocksMy love no more Ill seeIf I should float upon this streamAnd see you in my madmans dreamId sink into your troubled eyesAnd none would know cept loreleiRiver, river have mercyTake me down to the seaFor if I perish on these rocksMy love no more Ill seeBut if my ship, which sails tomorrowShould crash against these rocks,My sorrows I will drown before I dieIts you Ill see, not lorelei
