By Original Work
Haul %s the capstan round,
We haul away by the foreign port,
With death below filling every heart,
And till we reach port.
The foreign port winds whisper low,
As roll and sway we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of storms to weather and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through gold to earn we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the deck below may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the halyard fast once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let find the shore fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For to the winch gather there,
Where distant shore meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying storms to weather away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So heave ho 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 shore sways every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And as the years roll by.
In the twilight so still,
We sway our song,
By the mountain trail on the hill,
Where starlight belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For mountain gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying distant home away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dance and pray with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 89 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
