Meic Stevens — Rowena lyrics

Lyrics

Rowena she’s a fire
Someone down the road is stoking it
She can’t burn much higher
If you don’t believe me better wait a bit
And I’ll tell you a tale
But the words will never fail
Rowena coming softly to amaze with you
Fantasy, my eyes uncontrolled
tell no no lies nervous
twitching still unfettered by will
You meet me in the past
But the passage back is blocked
Rowena coming softly to amaze with you
A moon-face makes a silver steeple bell
She rings for me, shivering in the night
Her velvet coat bequethed delight
Immasculated men, like the shadow people run
Rowena coming softly to amaze with you
