Sea Lullaby
Listen to the sea wind, my darling
Let your wee heart have rest
Sleep the sleep of the angels
Lay your little head on my breast
The nets are the tools of your daddy's trade
He sails on the morning tide
But for now the currach stands on the shore
Tonight he sleeps at my side
Tomorrow the ocean will cradle him
The sea will rock his bed
The wind will be his companion
And there he will lay his head
And you, my love, will follow him
To the ocean you will give your heart
The sea will be your lover
And never will you be apart
So lay in your cradle, little darling
Sleep warm by the fire tonight
Dream that the ocean rocks you
Your daddy leaves with the morning light
