Loreena McKennitt - The Visit: Highlights from the Definitive Edition

Courtyard Lullaby (Live At WXPN's World Cafe, 1992)

Wherein, the deep night sky
The stars lie in its embrace
The courtyard still in its sleep
Peace comes over your face

Come to me, it sings
Feel the pulse of the land
The oceans rhythms pull
To hold your heart in its hand

And when the wind draws strong
Across the cypress trees
The nightbirds cease their songs
So gathers memories

Last night you spoke of a dream
Where forests stretched to the east
And each bird sang its song
A unicorn joined in the feast

And in a corner stood
A pomegranate tree
With wild flowers there
No mortal eye could see

I heard an old voice say
Don't go far from this our land
The seasons have their way
No mortal can understand
