Lorelei

Lorelei held an unsteady job at the film developing shop
On the corner of Main Street and Thomas
Lorelei would hold her own hand when she would start to get
lost
‘Cause she knew nobody was as committed or honest
With her heart as she was
As she was.

Lorelei would stare at the photos and marvel at the scenes
Of the days gone by and the people long gone
And the things she'd never seen
She saw a long-haired girl with her soul in her eyes
And it spoke to the soul of Lorelei and she said
I wonder if I am as sad and lonesome as she was
As she was.

Oh, her heart reminds me of a sadly changing moon
Oh, it's dark but soon she'll be shinin' as
Brightly as she was
Oh.

Lorelei didn't fall in love, she just fell into these obsessions
And she somehow always ended up on the wrong side of her
lessons
So she'd start it over, she'd try again.

Then she'd end up in some lawyer's bed
Where the lies were as cold as the sheets
And the lovin' as repetitive as she was
As she was.

Na na nana na nana na nanana
Na na nana na nana na nanana
Na na nana na nana na nanana
Na na nana na nana na nanana.

Oh, her heart reminds me of a sadly changing moon
Oh, it's dark but soon she'll be shinin' as
Brightly as she was
Oh.

Lorelei bought a Nikon camera from a coworker in her shop
It'd been a long time coming but she'd never got past the
thought
She walked out the door and she started searching for
Something beautiful, something more
And that was her way for the rest of her days
As curious as she was
As she was.

Na na nana na nana na nanana
Na na nana na nana na nanana
Na na nana na nana na nanana
Na na nana na nana na nanana.
