Connamara Cradle Song Lyrics
Connamara Cradle Song - Maireid Sullivan
On the wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling deep
Angels are coming to watch o'er thy sheep
Angels are coming to watch over thee
So list to the wind coming over the sea
Hear the wind blow hear the wind blow
Lean 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 winds gently calm be the foam
Shine the light brightly and guide them back home
The currachs are sailing way out on the blue
Laden with herring of silvery hue
Silver the herring silver the sea
And soon there'll be silver for baby and me
Hear the wind blow hear the wind blow
Lean your head over hear the wind blow
The currachs tomorrow will stand on the shore
And here goes sailing a sailing no more
The nets will be drying nets heaven blessed
Safe in my arms contented he'll rest
Hear the wind blow hear the wind blow
Lean your head over hear the wind blow
