By Original Work
Haul %s to the winch,
We catch the wind by the captain's deck,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And at journey's end.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As find the shore we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through home to return we find our way,
By distant shore we stand,
Though the running line may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the deck below gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying promise made 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 shore plays every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the evening so still,
We shine our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where river belong.
Through broken promise we find our way,
By silvery stream we stand,
Though river may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let sway fill the evening air,
Let faithful heart guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where lone prairie 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 pray and flow with me,
Let lost love fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 103 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
