Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Instrumental]
Late at night when the moon is full
I sit upon the river shore
Full moon in my eyes
Water flowing by my open door
Oh, it flows by
Folks along the river
Call me Lorelei
[Verse 1]
Hard times have come again
Folks looking for relief
Looking for the silver lining
In the clouds of disbelief
Falling from the sky
They pray to the river
Pray to Lorelei
[Verse 2]
Someday I will move away
To the city on the hill
Leave behind the waterfall
Leave behind the water wheel
Bring along my silver harp
Bring along my golden psalms
Sing them into peaceful dreams
Sing my siren songs
But only as a guiding light
To better times and safer shores
I'll sing away their trembling fears
Take away their tears and so much more
And then I'll cry
And folks will say "Where has she gone?"
Oh, oh, Lorelei
[Instrumental]
Folks will say "Where has she gone?"
Oh, oh, Lorelei
