Biography:
Karine Polwart (born 1971) is a Scottish singer-songwriter. She writes and performs music with a strong folk and roots feel, and her songs cover a wide area, from alcoholism to genocide.
Despite winning the Horizon Award for Best Newcomer at the BBC Folk Awards 2005, Karine Polwart is no newcomer to the folk world, having previously been a member of Malinky and Battlefield Band. Her solo career is new, and it is for this that she has been particularly recognised.

Oh my dear

You make me feel

Like I could relinquish

This body of stone and steel... and fly
Em F#m G A
And you cradle me like a lover
Em F#m G A
And rock me in your arms like a mother
Em F#m G A Em F#m G A
With your lullaby of water and sky
D A F#m
Oh mo chroí

You're as deep and as wide as the sea
A F#m
And you carry me so
G A Em
There's nowhere that we can't go
~REPEAT CHORUS~

Everything holy and everything hidden
Em F#m G A
We're holding each other, the loch and the Maiden

We go waltzing around... Merry dancers. You and I

And the sky... And the sky...
D A F# G D
And the sky... And the sky...
