I stumbled upon these words, thinking it was a poem of sorts (well, I guess it is to some extent - isn't music, poetry set to music?) Realized it was done by the Scorpions in 2010.
There was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by - And though you promised me to show the way, You led me astray
You were my Lorelei - What kind of fool was I. Cause I believed in every word you said, And now I wonder why
There was a time when we held one another - Bearing our souls in the light of the flame.
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by - And though you promised me to show the way, You led me astray
You were my Lorelei - What kind of fool was I. Cause I believed in every word you said, And now I wonder why
Now there's a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
Oh Lorelei
My ship has passed you by - And though you promised me to show the way, You led me astray
You were my Lorelei - What kind of fool was I. Cause I believed in every word you said, And now I wonder why Lorelei
