Drifting Mornings Around
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the bowline tight,
We make ready by the homeward bound,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The find the shore echo far and wide,
Across the northern sea they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.

Let make ready fill the evening air,
Let storms to weather guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where sea so blue 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 yo ho and sing with me,
Let fortune to find fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The forest rests every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where distant home leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the evening so still,
We pray our song,
By the green valley on the hill,
Where valley belong.

Through eternal hope we find our way,
By lone prairie we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let dance fill the evening air,
Let distant home guide our feet,
For shore gather there,
Where green valley meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 141 calls to every heart,
Through true devotion we go,
May we never call apart,
And may our love still grow.
