Lyrics Connemara Cradle Song - Tommy Makem , The Clancy Brothers

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

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 be the foam
Shine the light brightly and guide them back home

Hear the blow love hear the wind blow
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

The curraghs tomorrow will stand on the shore
And any who sail them will sail them no more
The nets will be drying the nets have their rest
And safe in my arms dear contented he'll rest

Hear the wind blow love hear the wind blow
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
