This song always reminds me of the book The Grey King, which is based on Celtic myth, and has a mysterious lady from the mountain as a key character from the past - a woman whom men fight over at the end.

coz while i think everyone thinks this is the sister song to Dreams....I think it is to Rhiannon

She was blinded by the light of the day
Dream on...silly dreamer...
And they were blinded by the light of the day
But they had known the nightmare
Blinded by the light of the day
They had known...
Why did he take them prisoner?
Well, how dare he!
Say to her, "Dream on, silly dreamer."
She was blinded by the light...
Blinded by the light of the day
Thrown down through the arms of love
She has known the nightmare

Everytime i hear this i can see her singing it to the same person she does in Rhiannon


And he says, "Rhiannon, don't go."
And he says, "Rhiannon, stay."
And he says, "I still cry out for you. Don't leave me, don't leave me."

Take me like the wind child
Take me with the sky
Take me now
Take me like the wind, baby
Take me with the sky
All the same
All the same
All the same, Rhiannon
All the same
Baby, all the same
And he still cries out for her,
"Don't leave me now."

and then of course the "Would you even try....well I don't think you do"

yah, i don't know but i love this song and everyone hates it

I debated the possibility that "If You Were My Love" was one of the "Rhiannon" songs, too. But there's one line that caused me to eliminate it: "I have reached the number of someone that could tell me" (she's also sung it as, "my hands reach for numbers....").

In other words, she's calling someone on the phone... which definitely didn't happen back in Rhiannon's day and age!

But I did include "If You Ever Did Believe," because it shares some lines with "Forest Of The Black Roses"... which I'm sure has to be a "Rhiannon" song.

Or simply another Sister Honey-esque euphemism.

I never connected it to Dreams so much as to SOTM for the obvious lyrical overlaps.

The ol' "forest of black roses" needs a little pruning, Rhi!

What a lovely way of saying that they ripped off "Rhiannon".

A whole batch of Stevie songs are the same chords.

But when they arranged it for TISL, they added some chords, like the D minor.
