Intro Verse I haven't slept since Wednesday evening There is no sleep with all this grieving No music here, where once was singing Where once was singing Verse We are like ghosts here on Rathlin Island All fleshless bone, all shamed and silent Our feet are stone where once was dancing Where once was dancing Chorus Sail away, love, from the island Sail out on the sea Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin An baile i mo chroí Verse The waves are pounding Slough na Morra Hundreds will sail, hundreds left mourning We will look back, beimid ar marthan Beimid ar marthan Instrumental Bridge Ochon is ochon, the hills are wailing Carve our names in Clogh na Screeve Ochon is ochon, the ship is sailing In ainm Dé, in ainm Dé a rach faimíd Verse Today I walk Raghery's headland The welcome is warm here on the island Seventy strong, it's hard to leave them It's hard to leave them Chorus Sail away, love, from the island Sail out on the sea Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin An baile i mo chroí Chorus Sail away, love, from the island Sail out on the sea Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin An baile i mo chroí
