Sun is falling and it lies in blood Moon is weaving bandages of gold Ooh black swan, where oh where is my lover gone? Torn and tattered is my bridal gown And my lamp is lost And my lamp is lost With silver needles and with silver thread The stars stitch a shroud for the dying sun Oh black swan, where oh where is my lover gone? I had given him a kiss of fire And a golden ring And a golden ring Don't you hear your lover moan? Eyes of glass and feet of stone Shells for teeth and wings for tongue Deep deep down Deep deep down Deep deep down in the river's bed He's looking for the ring For the ring, for the ring, for the ring Eyes wide open, never asleep He's looking for the ring For the ring, for the ring, for the ring The spools unravel and the needles break The sun is buried and the stars weep Oh black wave, oh black wave Take me away, take me away with you I will share with you my golden hair And my bridal crown And my bridal crown Oh take me down with you Take me down to my wanderin' lover To my wanderin' lover With my child unborn, with my child unborn With my child unborn, with my child unborn
