Lorelei - King's Daughters & Sons, King's Daughters & Sons feat. Shipping News & Joe Manning & Rachel Grimes, Rachel Grimes

Sleep, now, don’t you cry,

Sweet darling

Sleep, now, close your eyes

Come six black ships in fog

Come, Lorelei

Come six black ships in fog

What winds will bring me

To your side,

Lorelei?

Long-gone lover

Red-breasted raven prince (???)

Turns along

To hear your

Lullaby

«Where are you going,

Dear wife?»

They sang to the wind

North, near the lake (???)

Look out through the ghost in the glass

Of your widow flag

«I'll turn tonight», oh

Fond the wind sings (???)

Draw aside the veil

Send the visions

Of the widows' son

Make lay, put away

The books you’ve been reading

Take the stairs down

To the sea-side

One by one

The light’s out in the water

Are they glistening

Are they lenient

How long have you been waiting,

My love,

Lorelei?

I’ve been waiting ten long years

Red raven prince, lord (???)

Bye, bye

I sailed with six black ships

To bring you

Lavender and wermut (???)

Lorelei, you said:

«I won’t be long»

Close your eyes

One last time

Send me through the harbor

Follow this, my revere whisper

Starlight runs to sun (???)

And I wear my red-breasted waistcoat

To our meeting by the seaside

And I wear my black widow mother

Midnight dressing gown

Put your hand in mine, my love

By something less than every word (???)

And we begged:

«Sleep, now, don’t you cry,

Sweet darling

Sleep, now, close your eyes,

My love…»
