Lord of the Reedy River (Donovan cover) Lyrics
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...
My eyes were filled with feathers,
He filled me with song,
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.
He in his royal plumage--
I threw him some flowers,
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.
I loosened off my garments
And let forth my hair,*
In the reedy river,
In the reedy river.
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")

Written by Donovan Leitch, this is a lovely song.
Ah, This does remind me of the sotry of Helen Zeus disgussed himself as a swan and had sex with Leda producing. Helen Of Troy, Clytemnestra, and Castor and Pollux
Wikipedia sayed the swan raped her...but you know the truth...she wanted it.
