Lyrics The Old Ways (Live) - Loreena McKennitt
Well,
we're
going
to
finish
off
with
one
more
piece,
uhm
Uh,
but
before
we
do
I'd
like
to
thank
you
all
very,
very
much
for
coming
It's,
uh,
been
a
very
great
evening
to
spend
with
you
And,
uh,
it
wouldn't
have
been
the
same
here
without
you,
uh
Uhm
This
last
piece,
uh,
has
its
root
in,
uh
One
of
my
earlier
visits
to
Ireland
It's
called,
"The
Old
Ways"
The
thundering
waves
are
calling
me
home,
home
to
you
The
pounding
sea
is
calling
me
home,
home
to
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
It
was
a
vision
before
me
We
left
the
music
behind
as
the
dance
carried
on
As
we
stole
away
to
the
seashore
We
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
on
me
Of
thundering
hooves
and
beating
wings
In
the
clouds
above
Turning
to
go,
I
heard
you
call
out
my
name
You
were
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
Thundering
waves
are
calling
me
home,
home
to
you
Pounding
sea
is
calling
me
home,
home
to
you
The
thundering
waves
are
calling
me
home,
home
to
you
The
pounding
sea
is
calling
me
home,
home
to
you
Merci
beaucoup
