E5              B5                   C5            A5
  The thundering waves are calling me home (me home) to you
E5             B5              C5               A5
  The pounding sea is calling me home (me home) to you

E5                  B5
  On a dark new year's night
                  C5
  On the west coast of Clare
            A5
  I heard your voice singing
E5                  B5
  Your eyes danced the song
                   C5
  Your hands played the tune
               A5
  T'was a vision before me.

E5                  B5                     C5
  We left the music behind and the dance carried on
             A5
  As we stole away to the seashore
E5            B5                        C5
  We smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
                  D5 (riff1)
  And with sadness you paused.

            E5                 B5
  Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
                 C5                      A5
  My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
            E5                      B5
  Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
              C5      D5
  And I wondered why.

E5              B5                   C5
  As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
           A5
  A vision came o'er me
E5             B5                C5
  Of thundering hooves and beating wings
            D5 (riff1)
  In clouds above.

               E5                     B5
  As you turned to go I heard you call my name,
                       C5                        A5
  You were like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
                 E5                      B5
  "The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
                 C5      D5
  And I wondered why.
