lyrics

Lorelei, where are you hiding?

I know you snuck in through a dream

Just because I can't remember when I wake up

Don't assume that you haven't been seen


Your whispers dance light 'round my pillow
The music it stops when I stir

with the feeling that someone's been here all along

but things no longer are as they were


When I left you alone in the moonlight

with the ecstasy drained from my soul

All the longing lay buried in grief-stained release

left to rot for what can be controlled


Now will you wait for me in desolate water

where reflections, they only confuse

If I avert my course, could I avoid the chance

of crashing my boat into you?


I'm waiting, eyes open, for you, Lorelei

Don't you think that you'll trick me once more

I've given up sailing, I'm given up sleep

my eyes are now transfixed on the door


Lorelei, I don't know how you got in here

I thought I had barred shut my dreams

I can't tell the difference now when I wake up

and now you are all that I see.
