In the eve of my spring I came upon a changeling Who settled as a clear blue stream Flowing like a fountain
And I knew of not detail But its spell was unforseen And my roots, they aren't growing And the water cool and clean So I consume her late And I knew at once the curse it would bring
Night, sweet lord, sweet Azriel I cry and I wail these swan songs to thee
So I wed myself an almsman, A bloodletter, I lay swollen And on their deathbeds, cried anon Witch, what have you done?
Once dangled, now gnarled, It all leads to suspicion As I grow weak and wither, It is you, my old bride who stays young
Night, sweet lord, sweet Azriel I cry and I wail these swan songs to thee Night, sweet lord, sweet Azriel I cry and I wail These swan songs To thee
Oh...oh
So my days They pass with little change No crones, old bars decay Except the blindly and reap-song And no night too soon the dawn
