Loreena McKennitt - Courtyard Lullaby
Capo 2
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Am7 D
Within the deep night sky
Am7 D
The stars lie in its embrace
Am7 D
The courtyard still in its sleep
Am7 D
Peace comes over your face
[Verse 2]
Am7 D
"Come to me," it sings
Am7 D
"Hear the pulse of the land
Am7 D
The ocean's rhythms pull
Am7 D
To hold your heart in its hand"
[Verse 3]
Am D
When the wind blows strong
C D
Across the cypress trees
Am D
The nightbirds cease their song
C D
So gathers memories
[Verse 4]
Am7 D
Last night you spoke of a dream
Am7 D
Where forests stretched to the east
Am7 D
And each bird sang its song
Am7 D
A unicorn joined in a feast
[Verse 5]
Am D
And in a corner stood
C D
A pomegranate tree
Am D
With wild flowers there
C D
No mortal eye could see
[Verse 6]
Am7 D
Yet still some mystery befalls
Am7 D
Sure as the cock crows at morn
Am7 D
The world in stillness keeps
Am7 D
The secret of babes to be born
[Verse 7]
Am D
Come to me, my love
C D
Hear the pulse of the land
Am D
The ocean's rhythms pull
C D
To hold your heart in its hand
[Verse 8]
Am7 D
I heard an old voice say
Am7 D
"Don't go far from the land
Am7 D
The seasons have their way
Am7 D
No mortal can understand"
