THE MYSTIC'S
DREAM
A clouded
dream on an earthly night
Hangs upon
the crescent moon
A voiceless song
in an ageless light
Sings at the
coming dawn
Birds in
flight are calling there
Where the
heart moves the stones
It's there
that my heart is calling
All for the
love of you
A painting hangs on an ivy
Nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
And then it draws me far away
Where deep in the desert twilight
Sand melts in pools of the sky
When darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call me home
And so it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
And now I feel you move
Every breath is full
So it's there my homage's due
Clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
All for the love of you.
Words and
music by
Loreena
McKennitt
From her
album
“The Mask
and Mirror”
