Ceinwyn of Powys

Oh love? I looked at her and said to myself
That I wasn't in love, it was just a talisman
She, a princess, I, the son of a slave
Yes, madam, do you understand this madness?

To look into someone's eyes and know
That life without them is impossible to live
The voice that makes the heart fail
The company that happiness can desire

In the room, I was only aware of ceinwyn
Her big, sad eyes, my heart beating
Understanding that it is possible, I heard myself say
Her absence, my soul suffering

To look into someone's eyes and know
That life without them is impossible to live
The voice that makes the heart fail
The company that happiness can desire

Has this ever happened, mr. Derfel?
Never until this moment, madam
More courage than breaks through a shield wall
Love is madness, swinging from ecstasy to despair

To look into someone's eyes and know
That life without them is unlivable
The voice that makes the heart fail
The company that happiness can desire

She asked for rhiannon's song
I, with red face, soul in embarrassment
Love is madness, swinging from ecstasy to despair
In one insane second, in one insane second
