"Lorelei" lyrics - THE WINERY DOGS

I know I wrote a thousand letters
My ship has sailed without me
My mother's dead my father I forgive
They left me

The water's deep I've got no rest
My breath is cold and I'm alone
I'd rather see the stars than the rocks below

Sugar coat my heart
Lead me from my woes
A siren story told
Oh Lorelei, oh Lorelei
Sing me a song
I'd rather die than go home

I'd love to be the things I've spoken
I need to own my lies
The waves devour but I gently flow the Rhine
Hey yeah

Sugar coat my heart
Lead me from my woes
A siren story's told
Oh Lorelei, oh Lorelei
Sing me a song
I'd rather die than go on

Sugar coat my heart
Lead me from my woes
A siren story's told
Oh Lorelei, oh Lorelei
Sing me a song

The siren's story's told
Hair that shines like gold
Lead us from our woes
Oh Lorelei, oh Lorelei
Sing us a song
I'd rather die than go on
