Music and lyric: Loreena McKennitt




Now that the time has come


Soon gone is the day

There upon some distant shore


You'll hear me say




Long as the day in the summer time


Deep as the wine dark sea


I'll keep your heart with mine.

Till you come to me.





There like a bird I'd fly

High through the air


Reaching for the sun's full rays


Only to find you there




And in the night when our dreams are still


Or when the wind calls free

I'll keep your heart with mine


Till you come to me




Now that the time has come


Soon gone is the day


There upon some distant shore

You'll hear me say





Long as the day in the summer time

Deep as the wine dark sea


I'll keep your heart with mine.


Till you come to me
