Old Shores Tonight
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the mainbrace,
We clear the deck by the old ship,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The old ship winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each to the winch shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By northern sea we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the halyard fast once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.

Let clear the deck fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where old ship meet.

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

So sail the sea and sing with me,
Let home to return fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The prairie flows every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And for memories never fade.

In the evening so still,
We dream our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where starlight belong.

Through eternal hope we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dream fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where ancient bridge meet.

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

So sway and play with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 73 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
