Blue Is the Eye

Lyrics: Brian Glynn/Diarmuid Glynn Music: Brian Glynn/Diarmuid Glynn A crack in the sky lends a light to the dark The wind blows the ember, a coal from the hearth You carry it proudly through ditches and trees And cross the horizon to lie down and sleep Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye that looks after thee Over the ocean toward a new world The city, the island, the tear in the pearl A boat on the water casts out a clear еye The darkness bеneath us is teeming with life Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye that looks after thee Handed the fire from the hearth on the hill The coal and the ember, they glow away still Songs to the stranger, familiar and clear Ring out in chorus for all you hold dear Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye that looks after thee A flash in the dark glimmers silver and blue Breaches the waves for a moment or two Moves away slowly back into the deep Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye that looks after thee Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye watches over the sea Lie down and sleep, sleep well my darling Blue is the eye that looks after thee

(Blue is the eye) (Blue is the eye that looks after thee)
