engkantada Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hi guys. Below shows the lyrics of a song I found. I would appreciate any thoughts on the words and what they could mean for any of you who might get to read this. Sorry, I know it's not a poem, but I would love to hear your insights on these lyrics anyway... ~ Thank you! ~ The Old Ways by Loreena McKennitt The pounding sea is calling me home unto you On a dark new year's night On the west coast of Clare I heard your voice singing Your eyes danced the song Your hands played the tune T'was a vision before me. We left the music behind and the dance carried on As we stole away to the seashore And smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair And with sadness you paused. Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go your world was not mine, your eyes told me so Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time And I wondered why. As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea A vision came o'er me Of thundering hooves and beating wings In clouds above. Turning to go I heard you call my name, Like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly "The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew And I wondered why. The thundering waves are calling me home unto you the pounding sea is calling me home unto to you The thundering waves are calling me home unto you the pounding sea is calling me home unto to you The thundering waves are calling me home unto you the pounding sea is calling me home unto to you The thundering waves are calling me home unto you the pounding sea is calling me home unto to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
