Connemara Cradle Song lyrics

On the wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling deep

Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep

Angels are coming to watch over thee

So list to the wind coming over the sea.

(Chorus)

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Hang your head over and hear the wind blow.

Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed

May no one who's dear to our island be lost

Blow the winds gently, calm be the foam

Shine the light brightly and guide them back home.

(Chorus)

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Hang your head over and hear the wind blow.

The currachs are sailing way out on the blue

Laden with herring of silvery hue

Silver the herring and silver the sea

And soon there'll be silver for baby and me.

(Chorus)

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Hang your head over and hear the wind blow.

The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore

And daddy goes sailing, sailing no more

The nets will be drying, the nets heaven blessed

And safe in my arms dear, contented he'll rest.

(Chorus)

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow

Hang your head over and hear the wind blow.
