Song Description

Haunted love ballad in the Irish/English tradition of misty landscapes and pre-ordained encounters.

Lyrics

My love comes lightly as the dawn
Crosses the face of the sea
She comes from where the stars are born
We meet at the gates of a dream
The crossroads of eternity

My love comes suddenly as a storm
That rattles the windows and trees
The rivers swell and the waters foam
Pouring back into the sea
Stirring and turning the sea

(Chorus 1)

In spite of the heat and the danger
In spite of the rising degrees
We come to each other as strangers
As lions and legends we leave

My love is pure as a unicorn
That disappears into the trees
Her steps are soft but her legs are strong
Holding the weight of the sea
Bearing the weight of the sea

My love comes to me in a dream
But one of us is not asleep
And there beneath the junipers
We meet though the slopes are so steep
To find the one hole in the dream

(Chorus 2)

And though we're formed out of the leisure
Of millions of stars burning free
Our task's to uncover the treasure
The past has cast back to the sea

My love comes lightly as the dawn
Crosses the face of the sea
She comes from where the stars are born
We meet at the gates of a dream
The crossroads of eternity
And dawn breaks so effortlessly
