The Old Ways
loreena mckennitt - the old ways
the thundering waves are calling me home,home to you
the pounding sea is calling me home,home to you
on a dark new years night
on the west coast of clare
i heard your voice singing
your eyes danced the song
your hands played the tune
twas a vision before me.
we left the music behind and the dance carried on
as we stole away to the seashore
we smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
and with sadness you paused.
suddenly i knew that youd have to go
your world was not mine, your eyes told me so
yet it was there i felt the crossroads of time
and i wondered why.
as we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
a vision came oer me
of thundering hooves and beating wings
in th clouds above.
turned to go i heard you call my name,
like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
"the old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
and i wondered why.
