Loreena McKennitt - Old ways

^Bm The thundering waves a^Are calling me home, home to yo^Gu ^{Em Bm} The pounding sea is^A calling me home, home to^G you ^Em

^Bm On a dark new year's night ^A By the west coast of Clare ^G I heard your voice si^Anging ^Bm Your eyes danced the song ^A Your hands played the tune ^G T'was a vision before me^A.

^Bm We left the music behind an^Ad the dance carried on ^G As we stole away to^A the seashore ^Bm We smelt the brine, ^Afelt the wind in our hair ^G And with sadness you paused. ^A

Suddenly I knew t^Bmhat you'd have to go ^A My world was not yours, your ^Geyes told me so ^A Yet it was there^Bm I felt the crossroads of time ^A And I wondered why. ^G

^Bm As we cast our gaze on^A the tumbling sea ^G A vision came o'er me ^{A Bm} Of thundering hooves a^And beating wings ^G In clouds above. ^A

As you turned to go I he^Bmard you call my name, ^A Like a bird in a cage sp^Greading its wings to fly ^A "The old ways are lost^Bm", you sang as you flew ^A And I wondered why. ^G
