Lorelei

When the moon shines on the river
and the sun has left the sky
After boats are tied to moorings with a sigh
I can hear the water lappin’
on the shoreline keepin’ time
and say a prayer that another day is done

Lorelei, oh, Lorelei
I hear your voice when you sing at night
Then say a prayer for another day to come

Then the sun comes through the window
and the crow’s back in the yard
the bed is made for leavin’ by and by
I listen for the quiet of sails caught by the wind
and say a prayer that another day’s begun

Lorelei, oh, Lorelei
I hear your voice when you sing at night
Then say a prayer for another day to come

Now the snow lays on the mountain
the cold is dark and hard
but the river waits below for melt to flow
I hear your voice, it’s singin’
with the Blackbirds’ on-ke-lee
and say a prayer for another day to come

Oh, Lorelei, my, Lorelei
I hear your voice when you sing at night
Then say a prayer for another day to come

I say a prayer that another day will come
