The Old Ways Lyrics - The Visit - Loreena Mckennitt

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 

My world was not yours, 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.
