The Lorelei legend is about a rock on the river Rhine that is sometimes mistaken for a beautiful maiden. My Lorelei is about a beautiful maiden who masquerades as a rock. You were recklessly abandoned So you floated to love You chose a mate at random And you gloated above You lived your life in tandem Until you’d had enough And then with reckless abandon You let push come to shove Stick your chin out – hang tough Lorelei Lora Lorelei, Don’t let them see you cry, Lorelei Sticks and stones can’t hurt you Through your rough tough had enough skin And people can’t desert you If you never let them in And if you never buy a ticket It’s for sure you’ll never win If there’s a problem you can lick it Or just take it on the chin That’s the ticket – that’s the spin Lorelei Lora Lorelei Don’t let them see you cry, Lorelei But I see you in the forest Looking slight beneath the trees I hear you sing another chorus Lilting lightly on the breeze And I sense your skin is porous When I see you on your knees But then you tense and you ignore this And return to your deep freeze Another day – you didn’t seize Lorelei Lora Lorelei I love to see you cry, Lorelei
Lovely.
Has a really hypnotic jazzy feel.
