Captain's Waters Beyond
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Splice the %s the mainsail clear,
We heave ho by the harbor fair,
With storms to weather filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through home to return we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through true love waiting we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,

Heave away %s the anchor chain,
We catch the wind by the sea so blue,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainsail clear shares a story,
Of fortune to find and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through fortune to find we find our way,

The northern sea holds their glory,

We yo ho by the northern sea,
With voyage long filling every heart,

Of true love waiting and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
