Rhiannon Lyrics

Artist: Stevie Nicks
Album: Enchanted

Written by Stevie Nicks.

Rhiannon rings like a bell thru the night
And wouldn't you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
And who will be her lover...
And who will be her lover...

All your life you've never seen
A woman - taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...

She is like a cat in the dark
And then she is the darkness
She rules her life like a fine skylark-
And when the sky is starless-

All your life you've never seen-
A woman - taken by the wind
Would you stay if she promised you heaven
Will you ever win...

Dreams unwind.
Love's a state of mind.

Rhiannon is the female energy of Merlin. A true Sorceress.

My mother was a HUGE Stevie Nicks fan. I'm named after this song, and my 4 sisters are also named after a Stevie Nicks influence.

if you reasch the word rhiannon you will find it originated in wales or ireland, rhiannon was a great goddess or queen, i have heard her as godess flying over battlefield in ireland. she was always in flight on her horse taken by the winds of war. loving rhiannon will never work because of her constant travels on the winds to battlefields-she will never stay in one place to learn or care about human love

Rhiannon was goddess in Welsh mythology, the goddess of horses, and she could transform into a beautiful white horse. But she fell in love with a human, and thus had to give up her immortality. JRR Tolkein modeled Arwen after the story of Rhiannon.

Rhiannon was a witch..........Stevie read the book on a flight and then wrote the song in 10 minutes....she's amazing!
