THE CALL AND THE ANSWER
(Phil Colclough)

You called and I ran wild as the wind
Which blows across the moor
All we needed is each other
Like the eagle we will soar.

You and I we're like two rivers
Run and fall down to the sea
When we meet we're lost forever
Lost forever you and me
    You are the call I am the answer
    You are the wish and I am the way
    You the music, I the dancer
    You are the night and I am the day
    You are the night and I am the day.

Lay your head upon my shoulder
Let your heart beat close to mine
There's no past and no tomorrow
Two hearts lost in space and time.



I found this a couple of months ago on a C.D. by the Dubliners called 30 years-a-greying. I read in the last issue of 'LIVING TRADITION' That it was written by Phil Colclough of Song for Ireland fame. Although my wife and I have started singing this we haven't bothered to write down the tune as yet but if you are looking for it leave a message and we'll jot it down.
Regards Baz
