If I was a white horse
and offered you a ride
through a black forest

If we took a strange course
promised you a danger
for a while

Ooh-ooh (...a white horse) ...Lorelei
Ooh-ooh (...a white horse) ...Lorelei

There's no way 'round the forest
the only way is through
And there's no way I'll ever make it on my own
without you

But if you are persuaded
by all those dragonflies,
offering you a ride
I'll know why

Ooh-ooh (...a white horse) ...Lorelei
Ooh-ooh (...a white horse) ...I'll know why
I'll know why

Forests come in all size
danger many shapes
Well who's to say

If I was a white horse
offered you a ride
through a black forest
