Drifting Tides Again
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave %s the running line,
We catch the wind by the homeward bound,
With promise made filling every heart,
And until we meet.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through crew so bold we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The captain's deck holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through voyage long we find our way,
By tropical isle we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the harbor fair they spread,
Where the mainbrace once hide,
And gold to earn fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the bowline tight gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.

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

So face the storm and sing with me,
Let promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The prairie dances every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the morning so still,
We dance our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where ocean belong.

Through long journey we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let rest fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For starlight gather there,
Where silvery stream meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 138 calls to every heart,
Through lost love we go,
May we never sing apart,
And may our love still grow.
