When Mermaids Cry Lyrics - Desireless - 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 

And after seeing a mermaid known as Lorelei 

Faithless lover that is me and she siren of the sea 

Next time that the seagulls fly, don't you cry, sweet Lorelei 

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 

Those tears won't dry for Lorelei 

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 

Those tears won't dry for Lorelei

The guilt is mine, it was untrue, the question is what am I to do 

All I know is I've got to try, try to find sweet Lorelei 

Make amends for what's been done 'cause I believe that she's the one 

Then I will go where seagulls fly, try to find sweet Lorelei 

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 

Those tears won't dry for Lorelei 

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 

Those tears won't dry for Lorelei 

There she is, I hear her cry 

Asking me if I will die 

There ain't nothing I won't do 

For you, Lorelei, Lorelei 

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 

Those tears won't dry for Lorelei 

Seagulls fly when mermaids cry 

Those tears won't dry for Lorelei
