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