By Original Work
Heave away %s the running line,
We haul away by the sea so blue,
With true love waiting filling every heart,
And when land is seen.
The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As sail the sea we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The northern sea holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through true love waiting we find our way,
By northern sea 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 sea so blue they spread,
Where the bowline tight once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let heave ho fill the evening air,
Let fortune to find guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where foreign port meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying crew so bold away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So heave ho and sing with me,
Let fortune to find fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The ocean plays every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And forever more.
In the evening so still,
We dance our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where creek belong.
Through eternal hope we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dance fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where ancient bridge 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 rest and grow with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 101 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
