<pre><font size='+2'>COURTYARD LULLABY lyrics LOREENA MCKENNITT</font><br>Music and Lyrics by Loreena McKennitt<br />
 <br />
 Wherein the deep night sky<br />
 The stars lie in its embrace<br />
 The courtyard still in its sleep<br />
 And peace comes over your face<br />
 <br />
 `Come to me` it sings<br />
 `Hear the pulse of the land<br />
 The Ocean`s rhythms pull<br />
 To hold your heart in its hand`<br />
 <br />
 And when the wind draws strong<br />
 Across the cypress trees<br />
 The Nightbirds cease their songs<br />
 So gathers memories.<br />
 <br />
 Last night you spoke of a dream<br />
 Where forests stretched to the east<br />
 And each bird sang its song<br />
 A Unicorn joined in a feast<br />
 <br />
 And in a corner stood<br />
 A pomegranate tree<br />
 With wild flowers there<br />
 No mortal eye could see<br />
 <br />
 Yet still some mystery befalls<br />
 Sure as the cock crows at morn<br />
 the world in stillness keeps<br />
 The secret of babes to be born<br />
 <br />
 I heard an old voice say <br />
 `Don`t go far from the land<br />
 The seasons have their way<br />
 No mortal can understand.`<br />
 <br />
          The photographs which appear in this booklet were<br />
          taken at a 16th century hunting lodge in Portugal,<br />
          where Elisabeth Feryn and I stayed for a week. Within<br />
          the lodge was a courtyard, marked at each corner by<br />
          orange trees. The feel of the place reminded me of<br />
          the Unicorn tapestries which hang in The Cloisters<br />
          in New York City. The tapestries and the lodge are<br />
          both rich with earthy, pre-Christian iconography -<br />
          depicting the mysterious life and death cycle of the<br />
          seasons. It was in this courtyard that this piece was<br />
          conceived. - L.M.<br />

Music and Lyrics by Loreena McKennitt

Wherein the deep night sky
The stars lie in its embrace
The courtyard still in its sleep
And peace comes over your face

`Come to me` it sings
`Hear the pulse of the land
The Ocean`s rhythms pull
To hold your heart in its hand`

And when the wind draws strong
Across the cypress trees
The Nightbirds cease their songs
So gathers memories.

Last night you spoke of a dream
Where forests stretched to the east
And each bird sang its song
A Unicorn joined in a feast

And in a corner stood
A pomegranate tree
With wild flowers there
No mortal eye could see

Yet still some mystery befalls
Sure as the cock crows at morn
the world in stillness keeps
The secret of babes to be born

I heard an old voice say
`Don`t go far from the land
The seasons have their way
No mortal can understand.`
