LOREENA MCKENNITT lyrics : "courtyard lullaby"

Werein the deep night sky

The stars lie in its embrace


The courtyard still in its sleep


And peace comes over your face




'Come to me' it sings


'Hear the pulse of the land

The oceans rhythms pull


To hold your heart in its hand'




And when the wind draws strong


Across the cypress trees


The Nightbirds cease their songs

So gathers memories.





Last night you spoke of a dream

Where forests stretched to the east


And each bird sang its song


A Unicorn joined in the feast




And in a corner stood


A pomegranate tree

With wild flowers there


No mortal eye could see




Yet still some mystery befalls


Sure as the @@#! crows at morn


The world in stillness keeps

The secret of babes to be born





I heard an old voice say

'Don't go far from the land


The seasons have their way


No mortals can understand.'
