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 
So next time that the seagulls fly 
Don't you cry sweet Lorelei 
Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 
Those tears wont 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 to find sweet Lorelei 
Make amends for what's been done cause I believe that she's the one 
Try to find sweet Lorelei 
Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 
Those tears wont 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 Lorelei 
Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 
Those tears wont dry for Lorelei
