The Lady Rachel - Kevin Ayers

She climbs up the stairs by the light of a candle

Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again

She places the light on a chair by the window

Says a prayer while the wind blows

And then in her bed clothes she hides

Now she’s safe from the darkness

She’s safe from its clutch

Now nothing can harm her, at least not very much

What will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?

What will you dream of tonight?

Who will you dream of tonight Lady Rachel?

Who will you dream of tonight?

She climbs up a hill and is handed a parcel

Then she unwraps the parcel

And discovers a castle inside

The draw bridge is open

And a voice from the water

Says, Welcome my daughter"

«Weve all been expecting you to come»

She climbs up the stairs with the light of a candle

Then the door with no handle is closing behind her again

Now she’s safe from the darkness

She’s safe from it’s clutch

Now nothing can harm her at least not very much
