Connemara Cradle Song

Connemara Cradle Song - Tom Donovan

Written by：J Baird/Pd Traditional

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

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

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

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 to be foam

Shine the light brightly and guide them home

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 are sailing way out in 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

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
