[00:45.00]
[04:57.38][04:31.82][04:06.56][01:33.48]the thundering waves are calling me home,home to you
[05:09.70][04:44.46][04:19.00][01:46.00]the pounding sea is calling me home,home to you
[05:21.37][04:55.38][04:29.40][01:56.42]
[01:58.25]on a dark new years night
[02:01.50]on the west coast of clare
[02:04.62]i heard your voice singing
[02:11.41]your eyes danced the song
[02:14.23]your hands played the tune
[02:17.20]twas a vision before me.
[02:21.91]
[02:23.33]we left the music behind and the dance carried on
[02:30.24]as we stole away to the seashore
[02:36.19]we smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
[02:42.76]and with sadness you paused.
[02:46.68]suddenly i knew that youd have to go
[02:53.03]your world was not mine, your eyes told me so
[02:59.31]yet it was there i felt the crossroads of time
[03:05.13]and i wondered why.
[03:08.95]
[03:14.95]as we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
[03:21.54]a vision came oer me
[03:28.11]of thundering hooves and beating wings
[03:34.06]in th clouds above.
[03:37.79]turned to go i heard you call my name,
[03:43.34]like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
[03:50.27]"the old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
[03:56.29]and i wondered why.
