Stevie Nicks ~ Three Birds Of Rhiannon

Written by S. Nicks; Some Lyrics by E. Walton

A bird that is not mine
Three birds that belong to her
One emerald green, one snow white
One golden, flashing like a sunbeam through the night
One golden, flashing like a sunbeam through the night

When at first he saw her
It seemed she had no name
She sat alone, and it seemed to him
That the light and the face were the same

Her hair shone, streamed blond and gold
He thought, "Maybe I'm going insane"
Her gown was no more than the water could cover
This time would not come again

And the white mares dance
And the lady asks
"Take my wisdom with you as you ride
If you kill the dark Lord of Death
Someday, I shall be your wife
Someday, I shall be your wife"

And the birds are still singing
And the song is now sweeping
Like a silver, a silver shimmering flood

For you, Rhiannon
I would fight, I would fight the world
For you, Rhiannon, I would fight, I would fight the world
For you are in my blood
For you, for you are in my blood

[EveDonovan]

This is yet another beautiful piece of magic!!! Any idea what circa this is? Or for which album it was intended??

[Wench098]

@EveDonovan ~ Thanks~It is a great song and formally titled The Maker of the Birds . Copyrighted in 1978 but never released. Stevie is saving this and other songs for a Rhiannon project. This song is based on Walton's book Prince of Annwn.
