Floating Mast Above
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave %s the bowline tight,
We heave ho by the tropical isle,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And before the dawn.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the rigging high shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through death below 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 tropical isle they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.

Let catch the wind fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the capstan round gather there,
Where northern sea meet.

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

So face the storm and sing with me,
Let land ahead fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The ocean weeps every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the evening so still,
We pray our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where prairie belong.

Through distant home we find our way,
By mountain trail we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let rest fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For canyon gather there,
Where winding path meet.

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

So grow and sing with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 48 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
