Lorelei Lyrics by Clutch

Book of Bad Decisions

2018

[Verse 1]
There’s no wisdom I may give
Only my apologies
If an answer you must have
There is a cave by the sea
You'll find there a Methuselah
As wind-swept as the trees
Should you approach him there
I advise you do so gingerly

[Chorus]
Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and I’m so far from home

[Verse 2]
There was a time of innocence
He knew nothing of the sea
Landlocked in all directions
Riding elephants to victory
But when the war, at last, was over
To the circus, the beast went
So he walked until the land’s end
And he’s been there ever since

[Chorus]
Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and I’m so far from home

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Lorelei, trouble my water
Oh, I throw myself over rapture of song
Lorelei, sweet mooncusser
Oh, my compass is spinning and I’m so far from home
