Loreena McKennitt - The Old Ways lyrics

Artist: Loreena McKennitt

album: The Visit: Highlights From The Definitive Edition


The thundering sea is calling me home, home to you
The pounding sea is calling me, home, 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
'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 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
Turning to go as you call out 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
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
