Imelda May - Tears of Clew Bay lyrics
[Imelda May - Tears of Clew Bay lyrics]
It's a cold heart that grieves me
As cool as the dawn
I'm glad that you're smiling and
Sad that you're gone
I couldn't contain all the love in my heart
So I took all my senses and tore them apart
The beer light that guides me
And led me astray
Now I dance in the moonlight
As it shines upon Clew Bay
So I follow my shadow down to the key
Where I spun you a promise that was not to be
The mountains my saviour
My conscience I'd climb
Guilt drags me back, to rest in the tide
The beer light that guides me
And led me astray
Now I dance in the moonlight
As it shines upon Clew Bay
I sit at the helm as I go it alone
Drink like a fish and I float like a stone
I'd die in the arms of the mud and the sand
Tomorrow is New Year, the one we had planned
The beer light that guides me
And led me astray
Now I dance in the moonlight
As it shines upon Clew Bay
Live well my heart, sorrow buried deep
I said sail upon tears now I must sleep
As cool as the dawn
I'm glad that you're smiling and
Sad that you're gone
I couldn't contain all the love in my heart
So I took all my senses and tore them apart
The beer light that guides me
And led me astray
Now I dance in the moonlight
As it shines upon Clew Bay
So I follow my shadow down to the key
Where I spun you a promise that was not to be
The mountains my saviour
My conscience I'd climb
Guilt drags me back, to rest in the tide
The beer light that guides me
And led me astray
Now I dance in the moonlight
As it shines upon Clew Bay
I sit at the helm as I go it alone
Drink like a fish and I float like a stone
I'd die in the arms of the mud and the sand
Tomorrow is New Year, the one we had planned
The beer light that guides me
And led me astray
Now I dance in the moonlight
As it shines upon Clew Bay
Live well my heart, sorrow buried deep
I said sail upon tears now I must sleep
