lyrics

Waves Like Drums

There is a legend of a girl
Whose flesh was stretched between two worlds
Lost for words she began to hum
A desperate call for help to come

Her feet in the bog, head in the sky
A distant, mystic lullaby
Echoed in pastures west to east
The mountains howled like feral beasts

Shadows danced when she sang in prayer
Waves like drums beat at the Cliffs of Moher

Then an angel heard her sing
An angels voice, he gave her wings
She flew along the sea
Made a home in a Thuja tree

Now when she cries the flowers bloom
Her smile brings the midnight moon
And when she sings of light and love
It’s carried on wings of a white dove
