Loreena McKennitt - Moon Cradle
[Intro]
C D C D
[Verse 1]
C
When the moon cradle's rocking and rocking
D
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
C
Silently rocking and rocking
D
The moon cradle's out in the sky
[Verse 2]
C
Then comes the lad with the hazel
D
And the folding star's in the rack
C
"Night's a good herd," to the cattle he sings
D
"She brings all things back"
[Verse 3]
C
But the bondwoman down by the boorie
D
Sings with a heart grown wild
C
How a hundred rivers are flowing
D
Between herself and her child
[Verse 4]
C
"The geese, even they trudge homeward
D
That have their wings and the waste
C
Let your thoughts be on Night the Herder
D
And be quiet for a space"
[Verse 5]
C
When the moon cradle's rocking and rocking
D
Where a cloud and a cloud go by
C
Silently rocking and rocking
D
The moon cradle's out in the sky
[Verse 6]
C
The snipe, they are crying, crying
D
Liadine, liadine, liadine
C
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
D
A lonely dream will be mine
C
Where no track's on the bog, they are flying
D
A lonely dream will be mine
