Rhiannon (Live 1977) Lyrics

[Spoken Intro]
This is a song about a witch

[Verse 1]
Rhiannon 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?

[Chorus]
All your life you've never seen a woman
Taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?

[Verse 2]
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
Rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
Once in a million years a lady like her rises
Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
Your life knows no answer, yeah, your life knows no answer

[Refrain]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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?

[Refrain]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

[Bridge]
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky, yeah
Taken by, taken by the sky
No

[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Ooh, ah, mm, oh-oh
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
And love is hard to find
Dreams unwind
And love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
And love is hard to find
Dreams unwind
It’s still a state of mind
Take me like the wind, child
Take me to the sky
Take me like the wind, baby
Take me to the sky
All the same, all the same, all the same
Rhiannon
All the same, all the same, all the same
Rhiannon
All the same, yeah
All the same, yeah
All the same, yeah
Rhiannon
All the same, yeah
All the same, yeah
All the same, yeah
Oh, take me to the sky
Dreamer, take me dreamer
Take me to the sky
Dreamer, take me dreamer
Oh, God
Oh, gonna take me to the sky
Dreamer
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Dreamer
Too late, too late
Dreamer
[Spoken Outro]
One, two, three, four
