Lord of the Reedy River by Donovan Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1971

[Verse 1]
She fell in love with a swan
Her eyes were filled with feathers
He filled her with song
In the reedy river
In the reedy river

[Verse 2]
She in her boat long hours
He in his royal plumage
She threw him some flowers
In the reedy river
In the reedy river

[Verse 3]
Black was the night and starry
She loosened off her garments
And let fall her hair
In the reedy river
In the reedy river
[Verse 4]
Sadly they mourn inside
Wast in evening twilight
Two swans glide and fly
O'er the reedy river
O'er the reedy river

[Outro]
She fell in love with a swan
