Samain Night

Music and Lyrics © Loreena McKennitt


When the moon on a cloud cast night
Shone above the tree tops' height,
You sang me of some distant past
That made my heart beat strong and fast.
Now I know I'm home at last.

You offered me an eagle's wing
That to the sun might soar and sing.
And if I heard the owl's cry
Into the forest I would fly,
And in its darkness find you by.

So the love's not a simple thing,
Nor our truths unwavering.
Like the moon's pull on the tide,
Our fingers touch--our hearts collide.

I'll be a moonsbreath from your side. 
I'll be a moonsbreath from your side. 
I'll be a moonsbreath from your side.
