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 them there I advise you do so gingerly 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 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 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 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
