Lindsey Buckingham
Rhiannon (Live 1997)
[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
Where would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?

[Interlude]
And he says, "Rhiannon, don't go"
And he says, "Rhiannon, stay"
And he says, "I still cry out for you
Don't leave me, don't leave me"

[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
Where would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?
[Verse 2]
She is like a cat in the dark
And then, baby, she is your darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark
And when the sky is starless

[Chorus]
Once in a million years
A lady like her rises
Oh no, Rhiannon, you cry, but then she's gone
And your life knows no answer
Your life knows no answer

[Post-Chorus]
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
Where would you stay if she promised to you heaven?
Would you even try?
Say, would you even try?
[Post-Chorus]
Rhiannon
Rhiannon
Rhiannon

[Outro]
Dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind
Love's a state of mind
Your dreams unwind
And still it's hard to find, I know
Your dreams unwind
And still it's a state of mind, I know
Dreams unwind
And still it's hard to find, I know
Dreams unwind
And still it's a state of mind, I know
Take me like the wind, child
Take me with the sky, take me now
Take me like the wind, baby
Take me with the sky
All the same, all the same
All the same, Rhiannon
All the same, baby, all the same
All the same
And he still cries out for her
"Don't leave me now"
Thank you.
