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
