On wings of the wind o'er the dark rolling Asea
Angels are coming to watch over Dthee
Angels are coming to watch o'er thy Asleep
So list' to the wind coming over the Ddeep
[Chorus]
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind Ablow
Lean your head over and hear the wind Dblow

The currachs are sailing way out on the Ablue
Laden with herring of silvery Dhue
Oh, silver the herring, silver the Asea
Soon there'll be silver for baby and Dme

Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind Ablow
Lean your head over and hear the wind Dblow
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind Ablow
Lean your head over and hear the wind Dblow

The currachs tomorrow will stand on the Ashore
And Daddy goes sailing, a-sailing no Dmore
The nets will be drying, the net's heaven Ablessed
And safe in my arms, contended he'll Drest
[Chorus]
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the wind Ablow
Lean your head over and hear the wind Dblow
Hear the wind blow, love, hear the whiAsper
Lean your head over and hear the wind Dblow

Laden with herring of silvery hue

Oh, silver the herring, silver the sea

Soon there'll be silver for baby and me

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 nets will be drying, the net's heaven blessed

And safe in my arms, contended he'll rest

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow

Hear the wind blow, love, hear the whisper

Lean your head over and hear the wind blow
