Loreena Mccennitt Dickens Dublin Lyrics

Dickens Dublin Lyrics

When the dark wood fell before me

And all the paths were overgrown

When the priests of pride say there is no other way

I tilled the
sorrows of stone



I did not believe because I could not see

Though you came to me in the night

When the dawn seemed forever
lost

You showed me your love in the light of the stars



Cast
your eyes on the ocean

Cast your soul to the sea

When the dark
night seems endless

Please remember me



Then the mountain
rose before me

By the deep well of desire

From the fountain of
forgiveness

Beyond the ice and fire



Cast your eyes on the
ocean

Cast your soul to the sea

When the dark night seems
endless

Please remember me



Though we share this humble path,
alone

How fragile is the heart

Oh give these clay feet wings to
fly

To touch the face of the stars



Breathe life into this
feeble heart

Lift this mortal veil of fear

Take these crumbled
hopes, etched with tears

We'll rise above these earthly cares



Cast your eyes on the ocean

Cast your soul to the sea

When the
dark night seems endless

Please remember me

Please remember me
