Rhiannon
Stevie Nicks · House Of Blues [2011]
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover...
All your life you've never seen
A woman--taken by the sky
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Would you even try...
Would you even try...
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark--
And when the sky is starless--
All your life you've never seen--
A woman--taken by the sky
Well would you stay if she promised you heaven
Would you even try...
Would you even try...

Rhiannon
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a bird in flight--
And who will be her lover...
Once in a million years
A lady like her rises
"Oh Rhiannon!" you cry
But she is gone
And your life knows no answer
Your life knows no answer...
Dream on silly dreamer
Try hard you can leave her
Dream on silly dreamer
Try hard try harder
Try hard dream on
She rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover...
All your life you've never seen--
A woman--taken by the sky
Well would you stay if she promised you heaven
Would you even try...
Would you even try...
Your dreams unwind and love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind and love's a state of mind
Dream on silly dreamer
Try hard you can leave her
Dream on silly dreamer
Try hard try harder
You try hard er... Rhiannon
And you still cry out for her
And you still cry out for her
Rhiannon
