The Old Ways lyrics
Song information
Artist: Loreena Mckennitt Album: Live In Paris And Toronto
Lyrics
The thundering waves are calling me home to you The pounding sea is calling me home to you
On a dark new year's night On the west coast of clare I heard your voice singing Your eyes danced the song Your hands played the tune T'was 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 you'd 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 o'er me Of thundering hooves and beating wings In clouds above
As you turned to go I heard you call my name You were 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
The thundering waves are calling me home to you The pounding sea is calling me home to you
The thundering waves are calling me home to you The pounding sea is calling me home to you
The thundering waves are calling me home to you The pounding sea is calling me home to you
