Eagle Eye Cherry - When Mermaids Cry lyrics

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