12 The Hour Returns

[Intro] (vocalise: long luminous "aah", echoing Track 1's dawn theme) [Verse 1] The tide comes in the way it always has And lays its silver on the morning grass I stand again before the standing stones And feel the old familiar in my bones [Chorus] The hour returns, the wheel has turned us home (us home) Through all the lives, through all the miles we've roamed And here you are again, my love As I always knew you'd be [Verse 2] I've been the hunter and the weaver too The lantern keeper waiting just for you The selkie and the bard, the falling snow And every road has brought me here, I know [Chorus] The hour returns, the wheel has turned us home (us home) Through all the lives, through all the miles we've roamed And here you are again, my love As I always knew you'd be [Bridge] (vocalise: vast cascading choir "oooh-aah") Turn, turn, the tide that never truly ends Love is the sea to which the soul descends And rises up, and falls, and comes around To lay us, breathing, on the same old ground [Outro] (vocalise: full radiant choir resolving to a single held "ahh", slow fade) The tide will turn and bring us back as one Knew you'd beee, knew you'd beee... Hooome to the stones, hooome to the light... [Instrumental Fade Out] [End]
