By the river Camelot, a tower stands tall
Where Lady of Shalott weaves within her hall
Cursed to gaze upon the world outside
Her fate is sealed, life denied
Weaving her tapestry, day by day
Cursed never look upon the world
Trapped inside her tower, she must stay
Her gaze is fixed, her fate unfurled
Oh the Lady of Shalott
Bound by a spell, her life forgot
Mirrored images, her only lot
Oh Lady of Shalott
Sir Lancelot rides by, a dazzling
She glimpses him, her heart begins to race
Forsaking loom, she steps into the light
And walks her doom, with sorrow on her face
The curse taken hold, her world starts to fade
Down to river, her boat is made
Drifting away, her song played
In the river she lies, pale and still
gazes on, his heart does not thrill
"She has lovely face," he says with a will
Oh Lady of Shalott
