Loreena McKennitt - Courtyard Lullaby Lyrics
Wherein the deep night sky, the stars lie in its embraceThe courtyard still in its sleep, peace comes over your face"Come to me," it sings, "Hear the pulse of the landThe ocean's rhythms pull to hold your heart in its hand"And when the wind draws strong across the cypress treesThe nightbirds cease their songs, so gathers memoriesLast night you spoke of a dream where forests stretched to the eastAnd each bird sang its song, a unicorn joined in a feastAnd in a corner stood a pomegranate treeWith wild flowers there no mortal eye could seeYet still some mystery befalls, sure as the ***** crows at mornThe world in stillness keeps the secret of babes to be bornCome to me, my love, hear the pulse of the landThe ocean's rhythms pull to hold your heart in its handI heard an old voice say, "Don't go far from the landThe seasons have their way no mortal can understand"
