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
