Loreena McKennitt: Samain Night (1989)

Random Page  /  Random Song


\"Samain Night\" is the first track on Loreena McKennitt's third album, Parallel Dreams, released in 1989.

Samain (Samhain) is a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or \"darker half\" of the year. It is celebrated from sunset on 31 October to sunset on 1 November, which is nearly halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice.

Lyrics:

When the moon on a cloud cast night
Hung above the tree tops' height
You sang me of some distant past
That made my heart beat strong and fast
Now I know I'm home at last

You offered me an eagle's wing
That to the sun I might soar and sing
And if I heard the owl's cry
Into the forest I would fly
And in its darkness find you by.

And so our love's not a simple thing
Nor our truths unwavering
But like the moon's pull on the tide
Our fingers touch, our hearts collide
I'll be a moonsbreath by your side.
