[Intro]
[Verse]
The currachs are sailing way out on the blue
Laden with herring of silvery hue
Silver the herring and silver the sea
Soon there ll be silver for my love and me
[Chorus]
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
[Verse]
On wings of the wind, o er the deep rolling sea
Angels are coming to watch over thee
Angels are coming to watch over thee
So hark to the winds coming over the sea
[Chorus]
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
[Verse]
Oh, winds of the night, may your fury be crossed
May no one that s dear to our island be lost
Blow the wind gently, calm be the foam
Shine the light brightly to guide us back home
[Chorus]
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
[Chorus]
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind blow
Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
[Outro]
The currachs are sailing out over the sea
Laden with herring for my love and me
