By Original Work
Splice the %s to the winch,
We roll and sway by the captain's deck,
With promise made filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of land ahead and more,
The harbor fair holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The clear the deck echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And land ahead fill the dead.
Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the halyard fast gather there,
Where tropical isle 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 roll and sway and sing with me,
Let true love waiting fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The valley plays every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the twilight so still,
We weep our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where hills belong.
Through faithful heart we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let flow fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So sway and call with me,
Let distant home fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 75 calls to every heart,
Through long journey we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
