This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.

wow this song is amazing. I love it.
this is one of my favorites.
such a cute song.
Today in class I realized where this song came from. It comes from the Germanic legend of a girl named Lorelei, who had entrancing eyes and would lure men to her and she would give in to them. She had a lover who left her and she was devastated. She was brought before a priest for her actions and they wouldn't kill her, so they sent her to a convent. She asked to be allowed to look at the Rhine river one last time. She told the knights that were escorting her that that man on the boat below was her lost lover. Lorelei then threw herself from the cliff she was standing on.
Very sad.
