Rhiannon (Live 2005) Lyrics

[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 sky
Would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Oh would you even try?

[Verse 2]
He says, "Rhiannon"
"Don't go"
And he says "Rhiannon"
"Stay"
And he says "I still cry out for you"

[Verse 3]
Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night and
Won'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
Where would you stay if she promised to you heaven
Would you even try?
[Verse 4]
She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is your darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
Once in a million years you meet a lady like her rises
Oh no Rhiannon you cry, and then she's gone
And your life well it knows no answer
And your life knows no answer

[Refrain]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

[Verse 5]
She rings like a bell through the night
And won't you love to love her?
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover?

[Chorus]
All you life you've never seen
A woman taken by the sky
Where would you stay if she promised to you heaven
Would you even try?
Would you even try?
And I don't think you'd do
[Refrain]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

[Outro]
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
And still its hard to find
I had known
Dreams unwind
And still it's still a state of mind I know
Your dreams unwind
And still it's hard to find
Oh you know your dreams unwind
It's still it's a state of mind
Well take me like a wind chime
Take me when sky high
Well take me like the wind chime
Take me when sky high
All they say
All they say
All they say
Rhiannon
All they say
Baby all they say
All they say
Rhiannon
Will you take me with you to the sky high
Dream of heaven
Can I dream of heaven
Dream of, baby dream of
And you still cry out for her
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
