Selling The Wind Lyrics

Selling The Wind lyrics

We have so far sailed maelstroms

Through the tempest light

This man-o-war

Spills forth with silks, spices and wines



Not limerick's dungeons eighteen months

Could kill my fervor for sea hunt

All herring lassies, gutter girls

They know what colored clews unfurl



These threads are full

Full of wind and tied in knots

Miss Forsythe's love

Was lost but never was forgot



Till olden age

Saber held fast to the sky

Sea cauldron's rage

The Cailleach tramps her cloak tonight

Tonight



For seven days

Braved howling winds, eddies and rains

Through towering waves

They say no bolder heart remains

Halcyon, green Clew Bay

A green Clew Bay



I buy these winds

To venge my children and their ghosts

I stole their ships

And every castle from their coasts



Need no advice

Nor approval from the queen

I live my life

Forever hellcat of the sea

Forever hellcat of the sea
