Heading Deck Beyond
Sea shanties
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 han...

Distant Mornings Today
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the halyard fast,
We make ready by the sea so blue,
With promise made filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through land ahead we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through death below we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the mainsail clear may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand....

We catch the wind by the captain's deck,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And at journey's end.

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,
