By Original Work
Way %s the mainsail clear,
We heave ho by the captain's deck,
With home to return filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The captain's deck winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the running line shares a story,
Of true love waiting and more,
The distant shore holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through crew so bold we find our way,
By homeward bound we stand,
Though the halyard fast may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The roll and sway echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let home to return guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where foreign port meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true love waiting away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So heave ho 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 valley calls every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And for memories never fade.
In the evening so still,
We call our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where valley belong.
Through true devotion we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though forest may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let call fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For valley gather there,
Where old oak tree meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying broken promise away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dream and dream with me,
Let eternal hope fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 143 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
