The Connemara Cradle SongAngels are coming to watch oe'r thy sleep Angels are coming to watch over thee So list to the wind coming over the sea Chorus Hear the wind blow dear 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 that's dear to our island be lost Blow the wind gently, calm be the foam Shine the light brightly to guide them home Chorus The currachs are sailing way out in the blue Laden with herring of silvery hue Silver the herrin' and silver the sea And soon there'll be silver for baby and me Chorus 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 x 2 |
