Bm (x24432@1)                          A (x02220@1)On a dark new year's night
                                 G (320003@1)By the west coast of Clare
                      A (x02220@1)I heard your voice singing
Bm (x24432@1)                            A (x02220@1)Your eyes danced the song
                                   G (320003@1)Your hands played the tune
                         A (x02220@1)T'was a vision before me.

Bm (x24432@1)                        A (x02220@1)                                    G (320003@1)We left the music behind and the dance carried on
                    A (x02220@1)As we stole away to the seashore
Bm (x24432@1)                 A (x02220@1)                                G (320003@1)We smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
                                    A (x02220@1)And with sadness you paused.

                  Bm (x24432@1)                            A (x02220@1)Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
                              G (320003@1)                              A (x02220@1)My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
                 Bm (x24432@1)                                    A (x02220@1)Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
                          G- (320003@1)A- (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)And I wondered why.

Bm (x24432@1)                   A (x02220@1)                          G (320003@1)As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
                       A (x02220@1)A vision came o'er me
Bm (x24432@1)                   A (x02220@1)                        G (320003@1)Of thundering hooves and beating wings
                  A (x02220@1)In clouds above.

                         Bm (x24432@1)                             A (x02220@1)As you turned to go I heard you call my name,
                         G (320003@1)                                   A (x02220@1)Like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
                            Bm (x24432@1)                            A (x02220@1)"The old ways are lost", you sang as you flew
                           G- (320003@1)A- (x02220@1)Bm (x24432@1)And I wondered why.

Bm (x24432@1)                   A (x02220@1)                           G (320003@1)                  Em (022000@1)The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
