Eagle-Eye Cherry - When Mermaids Cry Lyrics






She was drowned in suicide
Faithless lover cast aside
This is how she came to be
Lorelei of the sea
Hopes destroyed, she wanted to find
Certain death peace of mind
Now you wonder who is she
Lorelei of the sea
Many tales I've been told of sailors having died
After seeing a mermaid known
As Lorelei
Faithless lover that is me
And she siren of the sea
So next time that the seagulls fly
Don't you cry sweet Lorelei

[CHORUS:]
Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Those tears won't dry
For Lorelei

The guilt is mine I was untrue
The question is what am I to do
All I know is I got to try
Try to find sweet Lorelei
Make amends for what's been done
'Cause I believe that she's the one
And I will go where seagulls fly
Try to find sweet Lorelei

[CHORUS]

There she is I hear her cry
She's asking me if I will die
There ain't nothing I won't do
For you Lorelei

[CHORUS]

    It's hinted Eagle here was the first guy that betrayed Lorelei and is why she lures others and lovers to the rocks she lived on and push them off it to their deaths and now he's trying to find her to redeem himself but he's cursed to push away others to their suicide deaths. The guy at the end drinking was already suicidal that's why he welcome Eagle's singing and could finally jump with a smile.

  22. C.... ....

    If you say you're not here because of Meti's video on Mamezuku Rai, then you're lying.

    She was drowned in suicide
    Faithless lover cast aside
    This is how she came to be
    Lorelei of the sea
    Hopes destroyed, she wanted to find
    Certain death peace of mind
    Now you wonder who is she
    Lorelei of the sea
    Many tales I've been told of sailors having died
    After seeing a mermaid known
    As Lorelei
    Faithless lover that is me
    And she siren of the sea
    So next time that the seagulls fly
    Don't you cry sweet Lorelei

    [CHORUS:]
    Seagulls fly
    When mermaids cry
    Those tears won't dry
    For Lorelei

    The guilt is mine I was untrue 
    The question is what am I to do
    All I know is I got to try
    Try to find sweet Lorelei
    Make amends for what's been done
    'Cause I believe that she's the one
    And I will go where seagulls fly
    Try to find sweet Lorelei

    [CHORUS]

    There she is I hear her cry
    She's asking me if I will die
    There ain't nothing I won't do
    For you Lorelei

  38. S.... ....

    I named my daughter after this!

    S.... ....

    ShaelynnMoody my daughters middle name!!

    S.... ....

    ShaelynnMoody what? Mamezukurai? Or lorelei?

    S.... ....

    ShaelynnMoody You named your daughter "When Mermaid's Cry"?!

    S.... ....

    You named your daughter after a girl in a story who killed herself because a guy cheated on her?

    Shit, that's like buying a boat and naming it Mary Celeste.

    S.... ....

    @TheBlackDemon1996 😂😂😂😂

  39. h.... ....

    I believe the passengers are reacting like that because Lorelei is a siren that lures sailors to their deaths by singing to them.  She became that way by committing suicide.  So, the passengers are committing suicide because Eagle-Eye is singing to them (ie: the siren).

    h.... ....

    hardmarine and yet my name is lorelai

    h.... ....

    My take on it is that he's looking for Lorelei ....he's singing to her as an attempt to reach out to her while he flies above her not being able to find her. The passengers represent others who were successful in finding their "Lorelei" hence why they leap right before they cover their ears as if to prepare the fall into the dangers it brings and the natural defense to all of it.. which leaves him still wanting.

  40. S.... B....

    he has a beautiful voice

  41. W.... ....

    Massiv nostalgivarning

  42. l.... ....

    i love eagle eye cherry songs the best

  48. F.... M....

  49. K.... S....

    Kjelle Bergqvist och Helena af Sandberg + en av de mest underskattade låtarna på 90-talet.

  50. C.... ....

    Something must be wrong with the passengers if they react like that to Eagle Eye!!! =D

  51. K.... ....

    03:43: klipp till när ett av planen flyger in i WTC.

  52. K.... ....
