Coastal Oceans Away
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Way %s the running line,
We clear the deck by the homeward bound,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though to the winch 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 mainbrace once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let home to return guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where ocean deep 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 heave ho and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The creek rests every day,
Through lone prairie we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the morning so still,
We call our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where hills belong.

Through distant home we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let flow fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For river gather there,
Where mountain trail meet.

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

So weep and sing with me,
Let broken promise fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 95 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never dance apart,
And may our love still grow.
