Tears of Clew Bay Imelda May

It's a cold heart that grieves me as cool as the dawn
I'm glad that you're smiling and sad that you're gone.
I couldn't contain all the love in my heart,
so I took all my senses and tore them apart.

The beer light that guides me and led me astray,
now I dance in the moonlight
as it shines upon Clew Bay.

So I follow my shadow down to the key,
where I spun you a promise that was not to be.
The mountains my saviour, my conscience I'd climb.
Guilt drags me back, to rest in the tide.

The beer light that guides me and led me astray,
now I dance in the moonlight
as it shines upon Clew Bay.

I sit at the helm as I go it alone,
drink like a fish and I float like a stone.
I'd die in the arms of the mud and the sand.
Tomorrow is New Year, the one we had planned.

The beer light that guides me and led me astray,
now I dance in the moonlight
as it shines upon Clew Bay.
