By Original Work
Way %s the halyard fast,
We make ready by the homeward bound,
With home to return filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As find the shore we roam,
Through true love waiting we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the capstan round shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let home to return guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where homeward bound meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying fortune to find away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So make ready and sing with me,
Let crew so bold fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The shore flows every day,
Through river road we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.
In the dawn so still,
We dance our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where starlight belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though creek may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let dream fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For valley gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying lost love away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dance and pray with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 136 calls to every heart,
Through eternal hope we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
