Clíodhna's Lullaby

[Verse] Clíodhna went walking Through fields in the moonlight The ocean called softly to her "Come and lie with me in my arms "Come and lie with me in my arms" And she sighed [Chorus] "On the day that I was born "on the day that I was born "they took me from the shore Away from my mother's arms" "On the day that I was born "on the day that I was born "they took me from the shore Away from my mother's arms" [Verse] Clíodhna's eyes Closed slowly in moonlight The ocean said softly to her "I will not take you in my arms "I will not take you in my arms Until it's time" [Chorus] "On the day that I was born "on the day that I was born "they took me from the shore Away from my mother's arms" "On the day that I was born "on the day that I was born "they took me from the shore Away from my mother's arms" [Instrumental] [Verse] Clíodhna awoke With dawn light and sea mist The ocean still sang out to her "Come and lie with me in my arms "Come and lie with me in my arms And say goodbye" [Bridge] Whispers in the breeze, Echoes of her dreams, The waves are her cradle, Rocking her to sleep. As the stars fade to dawn, A promise against the night, Her heart beats to the rhythm Of the ocean’s gentle might. [Verse] Clíodhna stood tall At the water’s edge waiting The ocean called lovingly to her "Come in peace, rest in my arms "Come in peace, rest in my arms And forever stay" [Instrumental] [Chorus] "On the day that I was born "on the day that I was born "they took me from the shore Away from my mother's arms" "On the day that I was born "on the day that I was born "they took me from the shore Away from my mother's arms" [Outro] The lullaby fades, As the waves kiss the sand, Clíodhna's song now whispers, In the heart of the land. Sleep now, child of the sea, Your journey's at an end, In the arms of the ocean, Your soul shall mend.
