Eagle-Eye Cherry - "When Mermaids Cry" lyrics

She was drowned in suicide Faithless lover cast aside This is how she came to be Hopes destroyed, she wanted to find Lorelei of the sea Certain death peace of mind Lorelei of the sea Now you wonder who is she Many tales I've been told of sailors having died After seeing a mermaid known Faithless lover that is me As Lorelei And she siren of the sea Don't you cry sweet Lorelei So next time that the seagulls fly CHORUS: Seagulls fly For Lorelei When mermaids cry Those tears won't dry The question is what am I to do The guilt is mine I was untrue All I know is I got to try Make amends for what's been done Try to find sweet Lorelei 'Cause I believe that she's the one Try to find sweet Lorelei And I will go where seagulls fly CHORUS There she is I hear her cry For you Lorelei She's asking me if I will die There ain't nothing I won't do CHORUS
