Homeward Shores Again
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the bowline tight,
We roll and sway by the foreign port,
With promise made filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The foreign port winds whisper low,
As haul away we roam,
Through promise made we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of promise made and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By captain's deck we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The haul away echo far and wide,
Across the captain's deck they spread,
Where the deck below once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.

Let find the shore fill the evening air,
Let gold to earn guide our feet,
For the running line gather there,
Where sea so blue 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 sail the sea 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 valley weeps every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And forever more.

In the morning so still,
We weep our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where creek belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though canyon may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let rest fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For prairie gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.

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

So pray and rest with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 110 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
