The Enchantment
A note on the lyrics: they are widely available online, but I suspect they're all copied from the same place, because they all appear to have the same two errors in them: they all have 'rain castle' where Chandra sings 'green castle' (which is a known variant and also makes complete sense for both a bandit in the mountains and a fox or nature spirit), and the rather trite 'beyond the mortal life', rather than 'beyond the mortal line'.
The lyrics Chandra actually sings them:

The lyrics Chandra actually sings them:
He said my pretty fair maid
I'm glad to meet you here
For it's on this lonely mountain
Your beauty, your beauty shines
Your beauty shines so
Your beauty shines so clear
And if perchance you ask for me
Perhaps you'll not me find
But I'll be in my green castle
All on the mountains high
He said my pretty fair maid
I'm glad to meet you
But I'll be in my green castle
Your beauty shines so clear
Your beauty shines so clear
Sun and dark, sun and dark
Sun and dark she followed him
Over the mountains high
Sun and dark she followed him
For his eyes so bright did shine
And he led her over the mountain
Beyond the mortal line
If perchance you ask for me
You'll not me find, you'll never me find
And she followed him
For his eyes so bright did shine
And he led her over the mountain
Beyond the mortal line.
