Down by the river where the old willows bow
|
Marked by time, their branches hanging low
|
There where the aspens stand and hide
|
Witness stories, day and night
|
|
Along these trees, a river runs
|
Its water cobalt blue
|
It accompanies the road through the fields of rye
|
Leading to a castle all folks knew
|
Camelot
|
|
On an island in the river, covered with flowers
|
Dwells a lady, wrapped in secrecy
|
Between tower walls that embower
|
Her being, being a mystery
|
|
Sniffing, in tears; a flower
|
While standing in the casement
|
Fairy lady in the tower
|
Who has seen her wave her hand?
|
Who has seen her wave her hand?
|
|
At the fields the reapers listen
|
And whisper: "that's the lady in the tower"
|
A voice like an angels harmonic echoing
|
They go numb, as her voice grows louder
|
|
And when the shallop drifts at night
|
Down to many towered Camelot
|
Floating along, where roses grow wild
|
Where the lady royally apparelled
|
With a pearl garland around her head
|
Serene she sleeps in the tower on her velvet bed
|

Who Has Seen Her Wave Her Hand
