just leave all your things believe me my dear the horses approach, the cavalry's close there's no place for you here
ride through the day under light as it fades just follow the scent of steel and cement where the rich man is made
i'm no perfect stranger, i'm a man you can trust so what i will offer, i'll offer just once
when you get to the city raise the men from their sleep tell them 1000 strong they're as wide as they're long and they're coming in deep
from the horizon they swing they curse and they sing in all manner of clothes from their heads to their toes you couldn't dream such a thing
i'm no perfect stranger, i'm a man you can trust so what i will offer, i'll offer just once
if i don't make it home if i don't make it home let another wear my clothes burn all my things, you don't need what i own
lorelei, lorelei, lorelei let me drift in your soul
oh honey take the salt from your tears and put them back in the ocean again i'll be waiting in a place somewhere and you may come wandering in and your wild green eyes will take me back to where we began
