Lorelei - Clutch

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

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
