When Mermaids Cry
Eagle-Eye Cherry
Desireless (1998)

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

Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Cause tears won't dry
For Lorelai
x2

The guilt is mine I was untrue
The question is what am I to do
All I know is I gotta try
Try to find sweet Lorelai
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 Lorelai

Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Cause tears won't dry
For Lorelai
x2

There she is I hear her cry
Asking me if I will die
There ain't nothing I won't do
For you Lorelai

Seagulls fly
When mermaids cry
Cause tears won't dry
For Lorelai
