מילים לשיר The Old Ways – Loreena McKennitt

The thundering waves are calling me home to you
On the west coast of Clare The pounding sea is calling me home to you
On a dark new year's night
I heard your voice singing
Your eyes danced the song
T'was a vision before me.
Your hands played the tune 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
And I wondered why.
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea Of thundering hooves and beating wings
A vision came o'er me 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.
