Lyrics Kate Bush - Lord of the Reedy River

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*, [*Donovan's original words were probably 'and let fall']
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.

Sadly we mourned and sighed,
Whilst in evening twilight
Two swans glide and fly
O'er the reedy river,
('Two swans glide and fly')
O'er the reedy river,
('Two swans glide and fly')
O'er the reedy river.

I fell in love with a swan...
