Verse:
                     Chord diagramB minorBm                          Chord diagramC majorC
On a dark New Year's night, on the west coast of Clare
             Chord diagramA minorAm            Chord diagramE minorEm
I heard your voice singing
                     Chord diagramB minorBm                          Chord diagramC majorC
Your eyes danced the song, your hands played the tune
                 Chord diagramD MajorD        Chord diagramE minorEm
'Twas a vision before me

Verse:
                    Chord diagramB minorBm                         Chord diagramC majorC
We left the music behind and the dance carried on
             Chord diagramA minorAm                  Chord diagramE minorEm
As we stole away to the seashore
              Chord diagramB minorBm                          Chord diagramC majorC
And smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair
                 Chord diagramD MajorD
With sadness you paused

Verse:
           Chord diagramE minorEm                      Chord diagramB minorBm
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
                   Chord diagramC majorC                       Chord diagramD MajorD
Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so
           Chord diagramE minorEm                             Chord diagramB minorBm
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
               Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramE minorEm
And I wondered why

Verse:
               Chord diagramB minorBm                   Chord diagramC majorC
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
              Chord diagramA minorAm       Chord diagramE minorEm
Chord diagramA augmentedA vision came o'er me
              Chord diagramB minorBm                 Chord diagramC majorC
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
               Chord diagramD MajorD
In the clouds above

Verse:
           Chord diagramE minorEm                        Chord diagramB minorBm
Turning to go, heard you call out my name
                 Chord diagramC majorC                            Chord diagramD MajorD
Like a bird in a cage, spreading its wings to fly
                  Chord diagramE minorEm                     Chord diagramB minorBm
"The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew
               Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramD MajorD  Chord diagramE minorEm
And I wondered why

Chorus:
               Chord diagramD/F#D/F#                 Chord diagramC/GC/G           Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramE minorEm
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
             Chord diagramD/F#D/F#              Chord diagramC/GC/G           Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramE minorEm
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you

Chorus:
               Chord diagramD/F#D/F#                 Chord diagramC/GC/G           Chord diagramA minorAm    Chord diagramE minorEm
