Distant Anchor Free
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Haul %s the mainsail clear,
We make ready by the tropical isle,
With home to return filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The tropical isle winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The old ship holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand....

Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s to the winch,
We heave ho by the captain's deck,
With promise made filling every heart,
And and hoist the colors.

The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through land ahead we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each to the winch shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
