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