Greenwaves
I remember a meadow one morning in May,
With a sky full of dreams
that sailed in that day.
I was dancing through green waves of grass like the sea
For a moment in time I could feel I was free.
There are waves of forgiveness and waves of regret,
And the first waves of true love
I’ll never forget.
In the meadow that morning as I wandered alone
There were green waves of yearning for life still unknown.
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see.
Take me home to the meadow - we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
Each one of us has a 'meadow that cradles the heart'.
Each one of us has a 'meadow that cradles the heart'.
Sometimes that meadow carries with it the voice of ancient echoes
and half-remembered tunes… and dances old as years.
American songwriter and singer, Ann Hampton Callaway wrote the lyrics to Greenwaves.
We had previously collaborated with her, co-writing Barbra Streisand's wedding song - "I've dreamed of you".
The natural vocal beauty of Scottish singer Karen Matheson can instantly capture the heart,
as it did when she performed the lament in the film, "Rob Roy", causing actor, Sean Connery to declare;
" Her voice is touched by God".
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see.
Take me home to the meadow - we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
What I’d give to remember that heavenly state
Just a moment in time - all mine to create.
As I’m taking my last breath I know what I’ll see
There’ll be green waves forever out there waiting for me.
Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see.
Take me home to the meadow - we’ve been too long apart,
I can still hear you calling for me.
