When Mermaids Cry — Eagle-Eye Cherry

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 death 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 Next time that the seagulls fly Don't you cry sweet Lorelei

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry for Lorelei

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

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry for Lorelei

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry for Lorelei

There she is I hear her cry asking me if I will die There ain't nothing I won't do for you, Lorelei, Lorelei

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry for Lorelei

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry (oh, I'm coming for you) for Lorelei

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry for Lorelei

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry Those tears won't dry for Lorelei (oh, I'm coming for you)

(oh, I'm coming for you)
