Eagle Eye Cherry - When Mermaids Cry
G
She was drowned in suicide faithless lover cast aside
Em C
This is how she came to be Lorelei of the sea
G
Hopes destroyed she wanted to find certain death peace of mind
Em C
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
Chorus:
G
Seagulls fly when mermaids cry
Em C
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 to find sweet Lorelei
Make amends for what's been done cause I believe that she's the one
Try to find sweet Lorelei
Chorus
Bridge:
D C
There she is I hear her cry
D C
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
