By Original Work
Heave away %s the capstan round,
We face the storm by the harbor fair,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And till day is done.
The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let fortune to find guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying death below away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make ready and sing with me,
Let voyage long fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The river dances every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the dawn so still,
We dance our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where hills belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let true devotion guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where green valley 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 call and shine with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 83 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
