Em Bm C Am
The thundering waves are calling me home (me home) to you
Em Bm C Am
The pounding sea is calling me home (me home) to you
Em Bm
On a dark new year's night
C
On the west coast of Clare
Am
I heard your voice singing
Em Bm
Your eyes danced the song
C
Your hands played the tune
Am
T'was a vision before me.
Em Bm C
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
Am
As we stole away to the seashore
Em Bm C
We smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
D (riff1)
And with sadness you paused.
Em Bm
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
C Am
My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
Em Bm
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
C D
And I wondered why.
Em Bm C
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
Am
A vision came o'er me
Em Bm C
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
D (riff1)
In clouds above.
Em Bm
As you turned to go I heard you call my name,
C Am
You were like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
Em Bm
"The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
C D
And I wondered why.
D (riff1)
