Ten years ago I knew an elusive man He used to call me Rhiannon I knew the song but I never knew why He said I'll figure it out when I'm older Nearly a dozen years between us Thousands of miles I remember he lived in the California sunshine I imagined he would start each morning greeting the sun His only company a dark coffee and lit cigarette Ten years later, I vaguely remember a man He called me Rhiannon I would hum the song for years, sometimes I forgot why I would sing and sing but I'm still in the dark now that I'm older
