Em D/F# C/G Am
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C/G Am
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
Em D/F# C/G Am
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
[Verse]
Em Bm7 C Am
On a dark New Year's night, on the west coast of Clare, I heard your voice singing.
Em Bm7 C D
Your eyes danced the song, your hands played the tune. 'Twas a vision before me.
Em Bm7 C Am
We left the music behind and the dance carried on as we stole away to the seashore.
Em Bm7 C D
And smelt the brine, felt the wind in our hair. With sadness you paused.
[Bridge]
Em Bm7 C D
Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go. Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so.
Em Bm7 C D
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time, and I wondered why.
[Verse]
Em Bm7 C Am
As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea, a vision came o'er me.
Em Bm7 C D
Of thundering hooves and beating wings in the clouds above.
[Verse]
Em Bm7 C D
Turning to go, heard you call out my name. Like a bird in a cage, spreading its wings to fly.
Em Bm7 C D
"The old ways are lost," you sang as you flew. And I wondered why.
[Chorus]
Em D/F# C/G Am
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
Em D/F# C/G Am
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
Em D/F# C/G Am
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
Em D/F# C/G Am
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
Em D/F# C/G Am
The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you.
Em D/F# C/G Am
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you.
[Outro]
