Captain's Waves Tonight
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Roll the %s the anchor chain,
We haul away by the ocean deep,
With land ahead filling every heart,
And as sailors do.

The ocean deep winds whisper low,
As yo ho we roam,
Through fortune to find we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the deck below shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The sea so blue holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through land ahead we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the anchor chain may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The catch the wind echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where the anchor chain once hide,
And crew so bold fill the dead.

Let face the storm fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the mainsail clear gather there,
Where captain's deck 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 promise made fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The meadow flows every day,
Through silvery stream we roam,
Where faithful heart leads the way,
And and that is why I mourn.

In the morning so still,
We dream our song,
By the silvery stream on the hill,
Where starlight belong.

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

Let call fill the evening air,
Let lost love guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where mountain trail meet.

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

So weep 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 178 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never play apart,
And may our love still grow.
