Blackmore`s Night Loreley Lyrics

Loreley Lyrics

Merrily we sailed along 

Though the waves were plenty strong 

Down the twisting river Rhine 

Following a song... 



Legend's faded storyline 

Tried to warn us all 

Oh, they called her Loreley 

Careful or you'll fall... 



Oh, the stories we were told 

Quite a vision to behold 

Mysteries of the seas in her eyes of gold... 

Laying on the silver stone, such a lonely sight 

Barnacles become a throne, my poor Loreley... 



And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley... 

And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...



You would not believe your eyes, how a voice could hypnotize 

Promises are only lies from Loreley 

In a shade of mossy green, seashell in her hand 

She was born the river queen, ne'er to grace the land... 



And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...



Oh, the song of Loreley 

Charms the moon right from the sky... 

She will get inside your mind, lovely Loreley... 

When she cries "Be with me until the end of time" 

You know you will ever be with your Loreley... 



And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...

And the winds would cry, and many men would die 

And all the waves would bow down to the Loreley...
