[Em]
thundering [D] waves calling me [C] home, home to [Am] you
[A] [Em] The pounding [D] sea is calling me [C] home, home to [Am] you
[Em] On a dark New Year's [Bm] night on the west coast of [C] Clare
I heard your [Am] voice singing
[Em]
Your eyes danced the [Bm] song, your hands played the [C] tune
Twas a vision [D] before me
[Em]
I left the music [Bm] behind as the dance carried [C] on
As we swam away [Am] to the [Em] seashore
And smelt the [Bm] brine, felt the wind in our [C] hair
In sadness you [D] paused
Sadly [Em] I knew that you'd have to [Bm] go
Your world was not [C] mine, your eyes told me [D]
so
Yet [G] it was the [Em]
crossroads of [Bm] time and I wondered
[C]
[D] [Em]
As we cast our [Bm] gaze on the tumbling [C] sea
A vision [Am] came over
[Em] me
Of thundering [Bm] hooves and beating [C] wings
And the clouds [D] above
[Em] Turning to gold, heard you call out my [Bm] name
Like a bird in [C] a cage, spreading its wings to [D] fly
The old [Em] ways of you sang as you [Bm] flew
