Intro: ( Bm - A - G - Em ) x 2
Bm A G Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
Bm A G Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
Bm A
On a dark new year's night
G
By the west coast of Clare
A
I heard your voice singing
Bm A
Your eyes danced the song
G
Your hands played the tune
A
T'was a vision before me.
Bm A G
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
A
As we stole away to the seashore
Bm A G
We smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
A
And with sadness you paused.
Bm A
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
G A
My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
Bm A
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
G - A - Bm
And I wondered why.
Bm A G
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
A
A vision came o'er me
Bm A G
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
A
In clouds above.
Bm A
As you turned to go I heard you call my name,
G A
Like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
Bm A
"The old ways are lost", you sang as you flew
G - A - Bm
And I wondered why.
Bm A G Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
Bm A G Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
Bm A G Em
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
Bm A G Em
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you
