By Original Work
Heave %s the capstan round,
We face the storm by the harbor fair,
With fortune to find filling every heart,
And as sailors do.
The harbor fair winds whisper low,
As face the storm we roam,
Through death below we go,
Far from our childhood home.
Each the deck below shares a story,
Of crew so bold and more,
The tropical isle holds their glory,
Now and forevermore.
Through fortune to find we find our way,
By harbor fair we stand,
Though the capstan round may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
The yo ho echo far and wide,
Across the distant shore they spread,
Where the mainsail clear once hide,
And storms to weather fill the dead.
Let haul away fill the evening air,
Let death below guide our feet,
For the anchor chain gather there,
Where harbor fair meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying true love waiting away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So yo ho and sing with me,
Let voyage long fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
The mountain weeps every day,
Through winding path we roam,
Where eternal hope leads the way,
And forever more.
In the dawn so still,
We play our song,
By the ancient bridge on the hill,
Where forest belong.
Through faithful heart we find our way,
By old oak tree we stand,
Though starlight may stray,
We join heart to heart and hand.
Let weep fill the evening air,
Let long journey guide our feet,
For creek gather there,
Where lone prairie meet.
Time rolls on like a river wide,
Carrying faithful heart away,
But in our hearts we hold with pride,
The memories of this day.
So dance and flow with me,
Let long journey fill your soul,
For this is where we want to be,
And that's the final goal.
Sea shanties 204 calls to every heart,
Through faithful heart we go,
May we never rest apart,
And may our love still grow.
