A letra:
Rhiannon
rings like a bell through the night
And wouldn't you love to love
her?
Takes to the sky like a bird in flight
And who will be her
lover?
All
your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you
stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win?
She
is like a cat in the dark
And then she is to darkness
She rules
her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
All
your life you've never seen
Woman taken by the wind
Would you
stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win? Will you ever
win?
(Rhiannon) (Rhiannon) (Rhiannon) (Rhiannon)
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
Woman taken by the wind
Would you
stay if she promised you heaven?
Will you ever win? Will you ever
win?
(Rhiannon)
(Rhiannon) (Rhiannon)
Taken
by taken by the sky (Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky
(Ah-ah)
Taken by taken by the sky (Ah-ah)
Dreams
unwind. Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind, Love's a state of
mind
