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