Lyrics

B-side of sat in your lap single
Written by donovan leitch

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..
