B-side of Sat In Your Lap single
|
Written by Donovan Leitch
|
|
I fell in love with a swan.
|
My eyes were filled with feathers,
|
He filled me with song,
|
In the reedy river,
|
In the reedy river.
|
|
I in my boat long hours,
|
He in his royal plumage--
|
I threw him some flowers,
|
In the reedy river,
|
In the reedy river.
|
|
Black was the night and starry.
|
I loosened off my garments
|
And let forth my hair,*
|
In the reedy river,
|
In the reedy river.
|
|
Sadly we mourned and sighed,
|
Whilst in evening twilight
|
Two swans glide and fly
|
In the reedy river,
|
In the reedy river,
|
("Two swans glide and fly")
|
In the reedy river.
|
("Two swans glide and fly")
|
|
I fell in love with a swan...
