Loreena McKennitt - Old ways

^Am The thundering waves a^Fre calling me home, home to yo^Fu ^{Dm Am} The pounding sea is^F calling me home, home to^F you ^Dm

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

^Am We left the music behind an^Fd the dance carried on ^F As we stole away to^F the seashore ^Am We smelt the brine, ^Ffelt the wind in our hair ^F And with sadness you paused. ^F

Suddenly I knew t^Amhat you'd have to go ^F My world was not yours, your ^Feyes told me so ^F Yet it was there^Am I felt the crossroads of time ^F And I wondered why. ^F

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

As you turned to go I he^Amard you call my name, ^F Like a bird in a cage sp^Freading its wings to fly ^F "The old ways are lost^Am", you sang as you flew ^F And I wondered why. ^F
