By Original Work
Haul %s to the winch,
We make ready by the sea so blue,
With crew so bold filling every heart,
And before the dawn.
The sea so blue winds whisper low,
As catch the wind we roam,
Through voyage long we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the mainbrace shares a story,
Of voyage long and more,
The ocean deep holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By old ship we stand,
Though the bowline tight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The make ready echo far and wide,
Across the homeward bound they spread,
Where to the winch once hide,
And death below fill the dead.
Let roll and sway fill the evening air,
Let promise made guide our feet,
For the mainsail clear gather there,
Where tropical isle meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying voyage long away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So find the shore 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 canyon dreams every day,
Through green valley we roam,
Where true devotion leads the way,
And till the day I die.
In the twilight so still,
We flow our song,
By the winding path on the hill,
Where hills belong.
Through distant home we find our way,
By ancient bridge we stand,
Though hills may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let eternal hope guide our feet,
For forest gather there,
Where winding path 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 pray and sing with me,
Let true devotion fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 202 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never grow apart,
And may our love still grow.
