Eagle-Eye Cherry When Mermaids Cry song 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 death peace of mind

Now you wonder who is she, Lorelei of the sea

Many tales I've been told of sailors having died

And 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, it was untrue, the question is what am I to do

All I know is I've got to try, try to find sweet Lorelei

Make amends for what's been done 'cause I believe that she's the one

Then 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 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
