GShe was drowned in suicide Gfaithless lover cast aside
EmThis is how she came to be CLorelei of the sea
GHopes destroyed she wanted to find Gcertain death peace of mind
EmNow you wonder who is she CLorelei of the sea
GMany tales I've been told of Gsailors having died
EmAfter seeing a mermaid known as CLorelei
GFaithless lover that is me Gand she siren of the sea
EmSo next time that the seagulls fly Cdon't you cry sweet Lore-

The guilt is mine I was untrue the question is what am I to do

And I will go where seagulls fly, try to find sweet Lorelei
