Beautifully haunting voice, ageless music, poetic lyrics and you have Loreena McKennitt. Here is one of her lyrics to the song, Mystics Dream from her album "The Mask and The Mirror".
hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless light
sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
There that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you
A painting hangs on an ivy wall
nestled in the emerald moss
The eyes declare a truce of trust
then it draws me far away
where the deep in the desert twilight
sand melt in pools of the sky
Darkness lays her crimson cloak
Your lamps will call, call me home
And so it's there that my homage's due
clutched by the still of the night
Now I feel, fell you move
and every breath, breath is full
So its there that my homage's due
clutched by the still of the night
Even the distance feels so near
all for the love of you
A clouded dream on an earthly night
hangs upon the crescent moon
A voiceless song in an ageless night
sings at the coming dawn
Birds in flight are calling there
Where the heart moves the stones
There that my heart is longing for
All for the love of you.
~~Loreena McKennitt from "The Mask and the Mirror", Mystics Dream
