Lorelei
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can’t look out
Can’t look in
You just might
Get yourself kissed right
Out of the doors
In the light
We’ll make love
And then we can go
And we can go
And we can go
We’re covered by the sacred fire
Then you cut me to
You cut me to the bone
Can’t look out
Can’t look in
You just might
Get yourself kissed right
Out of the doors
In the light
We’ll make love
And then we can go
And we can go (and we can go)
And we can go (and we can go)
And we can go (and we can go)
And we can go (and we can go)
And we’re covered by the sacred fire
Then you cut me to
You cut me to the bone
Without a doubt
Without a doubt
We’re covered by the sacred fire
Then you cut me to
You cut me to the bone
Can’t look in
Guilty boy
Guilty girl
‘Cause you’re both cursed
Out of the doors
In the light
We’ll make love
And we can go
Can’t look in
Guilty boy
Guilty girl
‘Cause you’re both
‘Cause you’re both cursed
