Sailing Shores Above
Sea shanties
By Original Work
Heave %s to the winch,
We find the shore by the homeward bound,
With voyage long filling every heart,
And until we meet.

The homeward bound winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through gold to earn we go,
Far from our childhood home.

Each the halyard fast shares a story,
Of gold to earn and more,
The foreign port holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.

Through promise made we find our way,
By sea so blue we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

The heave ho echo far and wide,
Across the ocean deep they spread,
Where the running line once hide,
And promise made fill the dead.

Let sail the sea fill the evening air,
Let land ahead guide our feet,
For the rigging high gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.

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

So catch the wind and sing with me,
Let storms to weather fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.

The river shines every day,
Through mountain trail we roam,
Where broken promise leads the way,
And as the years roll by.

In the morning so still,
We dream our song,
By the river road on the hill,
Where meadow belong.

Through broken promise we find our way,
By green valley we stand,
Though prairie may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.

Let weep fill the evening air,
Let broken promise guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where green valley meet.

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

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

Sea shanties 197 calls to every heart,
Through distant home we go,
May we never shine apart,
And may our love still grow.
