On the wings of the wind
Over the dark rolling deep
Angels are coming
To watch over thy sleep
Angels are coming
To watch over thee
So list' to the wind
Coming over sea
Hear the wind blow
Hear the wind blow
Lean your head over
Hear the wind blow
On wings of the night
May your fury be crossed
May no one that's dear
To our island be lost
Blow the winds gently
Calm be the foam
Shine the light brightly
To guide them back home
The curraghs are sailing
Way out in the blue
Laden with herring
Of silvery hue
Silver the herring
Silver the sea
Soon there'll be silver
For baby and me
The curraghs tomorrow
Will stand on shore
And he'll go sailing
And sailing no more
The nets will be drying
Nets haven't passed
Contented he'll rest
Safe in my arms
