18 Jan 20 - 03:34 PM (#4028958) Subject: ADD: Winds of Morning (Tommy Makem) From: Joe Offer Hi, Dave - Here are the lyrics and chords from The Irish Songbook, by the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem (Oak Publications, 1979), page 122-123 . WINDS OF MORNING (Tommy Makem, 1966) I've walked the hills when rain was falling, Rested by a wide oak tree, Heard a lark sing high at evening, Caught a moonbeam on the sea. CHORUS Softly blow ye winds of morning; Sing, ye winds, your mournful sound. Blow ye from the earth's four corners; Guide this trav'ler where he's bound. By foreign shores my feet have wandered, Heard a stranger call me friend; Every time my mind was troubled, Found a smile around the bend. CHORUS I've helped a ploughman tend his horses, Heard a rippling river sing, Talked to stars when night was falling, Seen a primrose welcome spring. CHORUS There's a ship stands in the harbour, All prepared to cross the foam; Far off hills were fair and friendly, Still there's fairer hills at home. CHORUS first recording was 1967 Notes: This was written by Tommy Makem on the New York subway, which always inspires him to make songs about mountains and sea and sweet, clean air. ©1966, 1969 by Tiparm Music Publishers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huyftWuUuRM |
