Distant Ports Ahead
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave away %s the rigging high,
We face the storm by the distant shore,
With promise made filling every heart,
And through storm and gale.

The distant shore winds whisper low,
As clear the deck we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the running line shares a story,
Of home to return and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By ocean deep we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The sail the sea echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And true love waiting fill the dead.

Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the bowline tight gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.

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

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

The starlight plays every day,
Through old oak tree we roam,
Where long journey leads the way,
And forever more.

In the evening so still,
We sway our song,
By the lone prairie on the hill,
Where meadow belong.

Through true devotion we find our way,
By winding path we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let grow fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For hills gather there,
Where winding path meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 172 calls to every heart,
Through broken promise we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
