Winken, Blinken & Nod

Winken, Blinken & Nod - Richard Durrant

Winken Blinken and Nod one night

Sailed off in a wooden shoe

Sailed off on a river of crystal light

Into a sea of dew

Where are you going and what do you wish

The old moon asked the three

We have come to fish for the herring fish

That live in the beautiful sea

And some silver and gold have we

Said Winken Blinken and Nod

The old moon laughed and sang a song

As they rocked in their wooden shoe

And the wind that sped them all night long

Ruffled the waves of dew

While the little stars were the herring fish

That lived in the beautiful sea

Now cast your nets wherever you wish

Never a feared are we

So cried the stars to the fishermen three

Winken Blinken and Nod

All night long their nets they threw

To the stars in the twinkling foam

Then down from the skies

Came the wooden shoe

Bringing the fishermen home

It was all so pretty a sight it seemed

As if it could not be

And some folks thought it was a dream

They dreamed of sailing the beautiful sea

Now I shall name you the fishermen three

Winken Blinken and Nod

Winken and Blinken are two little eyes

And Nod is a little head

And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies

Is a wee one's trundle bed

So close your eyes and dreams the dream

Of the wonderful sights that be

And you shall see all the beautiful things

As you walk in the misty sea

Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three

Winken Blinken and Nod
