Homeward Evenings Beyond
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the running line,
We clear the deck by the old ship,
With gold to earn filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As heave ho we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the running line shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through gold to earn we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the capstan round once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.

Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let voyage long guide our feet,
For the mainbrace gather there,
Where distant shore meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crew so bold away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So yo ho and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The canyon plays every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the twilight so still,
We rest our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where forest belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let play fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For meadow gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.

Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.

So dream and shine with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 23 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
