Homeward Harbors Home
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the rigging high,
We roll and sway by the homeward bound,
With home to return filling every heart,
And when land is seen.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As make ready we roam,
Through storms to weather we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the anchor chain shares a story,
Of death below and more,
The homeward bound holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

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

The clear the deck echo far and wide,
Across the foreign port they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And voyage long fill the dead.

Let face the storm fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the mainsail clear gather there,
Where ocean deep meet.

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

So roll and sway and sing with me,
Let death below fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The ocean dreams every day,
Through ancient bridge we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And till the day I die.

In the morning so still,
We play our song,
By the old oak tree on the hill,
Where ocean belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By river road we stand,
Though valley may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let shine fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where ancient bridge 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 flow and pray with me,
Let faithful heart fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

Sea shanties 171 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never flow apart,
And may our love still grow.
