Dubhdarra, he′s a-sailing

Far out in the blue ocean

Far beyond the misty mountain

On the sun stream he's riding with the wind

Lost in a million dips and hollows

Swallowed in the racing horses

Dubhdarra will always return

To take me up in his arms

Angels hasten into the daylight

As the shadows fade away

And the rainclouds move among the islands

Far down in Clew Bay

I am waiting, waiting on the white-shelled sand

In the sea garden drifting far out to sea

I′m sailing far out to sea

Dubhdarra, he's a-sailing

Far out in the blue ocean

Flying canvas with the seagulls

In the freedom of a kind and gentle wind

Angels hasten into the daylight

As the shadows fade away

And the rainclouds move among the islands

Far down in Clew Bay

I am waiting, waiting on the white-shelled sand

In the sea garden drifting far out to sea

I'm sailing far out to sea
