The Connemara Cradle Song

Lyrics

On wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling sea Angels are coming to watch over thee Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sleep So list to the wind coming over the deep Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow Lean your head over and hear the wind blow The currachs are sailing way out on the blue Laden with herring of silvery hue Oh, silver the herring, silver the sea Soon there'll be silver for baby and me 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 Lean your head over and hear the wind blow The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore And Daddy goes sailing, a-sailing no more The nets will be drying, the net's heaven blessed And safe in my arms contended he'll rest 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 [Incomprehensible] Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
