The Old Ways - song lyrics

The thundering sea is 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
'Twas a vision before me

We left the music behind and 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 o'er me
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
In clouds above

Turning to go as you call out my name
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

The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
The 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

The thundering waves are calling me home, home to you
The pounding sea is calling me home, home to you

Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Drug you down took you away from everyone that ever loved you Fooled the crowd, made them believe that I was real, but you always knew I know I'm late, but I hope you know I'd kill to keep you safe If you love me then I beg that you just leave, forget my name Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go All the pills, all the money, all the pain Living consequences breathing just to take the blame I was wrong, I was wrong, I can see so clearly Made myself look like a fool and now you only fear me Fighting to change God only knows I've been living in agony I pushed you all away Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Just let me go Itching scratching my blood so thin the fucking ceiling spins It's clouding every night thought and stripping Everything away from me and crawling desperately It's got me trapped and living in agony Trapped in my old ways Can't seem to break free from anything 'Cause this is all that I've ever known And I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go I'm afraid I'm afraid it won't let me go Let me go Let me go

Some things never change Or go away I wait around And now it's yesterday Like some little kid Who's overgrown The lonely one Who's never been alone But I don't want to ever go back To my old ways Cheatin' and creepin' around I don't ever want to go back To the old days Leaving the dead underground But I don't ever want to go No, I don't ever want to go back To my old ways again Always waiting for The rain to stop And praying for The other shoe to drop Let your worries go We're all in love A tidal wave That comes from up above But I don't want to ever go back To my old ways Cheatin' and creepin' around I don't ever want to go back To the old days Leaving the dead underground I don't ever want to go No, I don't ever want to go back To my old ways again I don't want to go back To my old ways again

I wish I was in Carrighfergus Only for nights in Ballygrant I would swim over the deepest ocean Only for nights in Ballygrant But the sea is wide, and I can't get over And neither have I wings to fly Or if I could find me a handsome boatsman To ferry me over to my love and die Now in Kilkenny, it is reported They've marble stones there, as black as ink With gold and silver, I would transport her But I'll sing no more now, 'til I get a drink I'm drunk today, but then I'm seldom sober A handsome rover from town to town Oh-oh, but I am sick now, my days are over Come all you young lads, and lay me down I wish I was in Carrighfergus Only for nights in Ballygran

This glancing life is like a morning star A setting sun, or rolling waves at sea A gentle breeze or lightning in a storm A dancing dream of all eternity The sand was shimmering in the morning light And dancing off the dunes so far away The night held music so sweet, so long And there we lay until the break of day We woke that morning at the onward call Our camels bridled up, our howdahs full The sun was rising in the eastern sky Just as we set out to the desert's cry Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you The tents grew smaller as we rode away On earth that tells of many passing days The months of peace and all the years of war The lives of love and all the lives of fears Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you We crossed the river beds all etched in stone And up the mighty mountains ever known Beyond the valleys in the searing heat Until we reached the caravanserai Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you What is this life that pulls me far away? What is that home where we cannot reside? What is that quest that pulls me onward? My heart is full when you are by my side Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you Calling, yearning, pulling, home to you

White are the far-off plains And white the fading forests grow The wind dies out amongst the tides And denser still the snow A gathering weight on roof and tree Falls down scarce audibly The meadows and far-sheeted streams Lie still without a sound Like some soft minister of dreams The snowfall hoods me around In wood and water, earth and air A silence is everywhere Save when at lonely spells Some farmer's sleigh is urged on With rustling runner and sharp bells Swings by me and is gone Or from the empty waste I hear A sound remote and clear The barking of a dog To cattle, is sharply pued Borne, echoing from some wayside stall Or barnyard far afield Then all is silent and the snow Falls settling soft and slow The evening deepens and the grey Folds closer Earth to sky The world seems shrouded, so far away Its noises sleep, and I As secret as yon buried stream Plod dumbly on and dream And dream And dream I dream And I dream

Alas my love, you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously And I have loved you oh so long Delighting in your company Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves, my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my Lady Greensleeves I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever thou would'st crave I have waged both life and land Your love and goodwill for to have Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my Lady Greensleeves Thy petticoat of sendle white With gold embroidered gorgeously Thy petticoat of silk and white And these I bought thee gladly Greensleeves was my heart of gold Greensleeves was my heart of joy Greensleeves was my heart of joy And who but my Lady Greensleeves
