Lindsey Buckingham
Rhiannon (Live 1980)
[Spoken Word: Stevie Nicks]
This is a story about a Welsh witch
[Verse 1]
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?
[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
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless
Once in a million years a lady like her rises
Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but she's gone
Your life knows no answer
Your life knows no answer
[Refrain]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
[Verse 3]
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?
Will you even try?
Would you even try?
[Refrain]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
[Outro]
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
No
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Taken by, taken by the sky
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Oh, taken to the sky
