Lyrics

[Verse 1] I fell in love with a swan My eyes were filled with feathers He filled me with song [Chorus] In the reedy river In the reedy river [Verse 2] I in my boat long hours He in his royal plumage I threw him some flowers [Chorus] In the reedy river In the reedy river [Verse 3] Black was the night and starry I loosened off my garments And let forth my hair [Chorus] In the reedy river In the reedy river [Verse 4] Sadly we mourned and sighed Whilst in evening twilight Two swans glide and fly [Chorus] On the reedy river Two swans glide and fly On the reedy river Two swans glide and fly On the reedy river [Outro] I fell in love with a swan
