When Mermaid's 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 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

So next time that the seagulls fly

Don't you cry sweet Lorelei

Seagulls fly 

When mermaids cry

Thos 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

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

Seagulls fly

When mermaids cry

Those tears won't dry 

For Lorelei
